1. configure adds "LEX = lex" to Makefiles. This doesn't work as Solaris
7's lex doesn't define yylineno. Grabbing the latest flex and using
"LEX = flex -l" in the Makefiles works (-l req'd for yylineno).
2. Had to apply this configure patch so DX configure wouldn't bomb when
detecting ImageMagick. Stock sh (as on Solaris) does not support
"export var=val", though sh derivatives (bash, ksh, etc.) often do:

3. Rebuilt configure on Solaris with CVSMake (& autoconf 2.13) to try and
correct #2. Resulted in a configure exactly like that distributed with
dx-4.1.3. So #2 is possibly an autoconf 2.1.3 bug.
Also noted that autoconf 2.50's autoheader fails with DX's config files.
Dropped back to 2.13.
4. It's also important that /bin and /usr/ccs/bin be placed before /usr/ucb
(if present) in $PATH; otherwise the old ld, tr, etc. are used causing
configure, the build, and/or the install to fail.
5. Needed the PacketIF.C errno patch recently checked in.
