Newbie saying hi!

Howdy!  I am interested in kicking winex around.  I have a very
specific goal:  I want to extend/improve support for function keys.
So far as I can tell, Windows natively supports F1-F24, and X supports
even more.  Still, if I could even get 13-24 working, and possibly
some hack to make F25-F35 do SOMETHING anyway, I would be happy.

So far, I'm at the "can't even get it to build" state.  I ran configure
and make just to make sure a clean CVS checkout would work.  I get:

[...]
flex -Cf  -d -Ppp -8 -olex.ppl.c ./ppl.l
stdin:13889: m4: Warning: Excess arguments to built-in `m4_ifdef' ignored

./ppl.l: In function 'pplex':
./ppl.l:305: error: 'seen_junk' undeclared (first use in this function)
./ppl.l:305: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
./ppl.l:305: error: for each function it appears in.)
./ppl.l:305: error: 'pp_pp' undeclared (first use in this function)

The error at line "81" is really that the huge comment at the beginning
of ppl.l gets truncated at line 80; it finishes:

	 * arglist      :=
	 *              |  {id}
	 *              |  {arglist}

and then just goes straight into the lex-generated code.  No idea why;
the cutoff is about 1764 bytes into the file, so it's not just that the
comment got truncated to a convenient power of two or something.

The error at line "305" looks to be legit, by contrast; there is indeed
no declaration in sight of "seen_junk".  Many of the other errors go
away if I close the comment manually, but not all.

Any suggestions?  Did I just get bit rot when checking out?  Should I
have specified a particular revision when checking out?  The instructions
I used were from:

http://www.transgaming.com/sources.php

and the checkout command was just:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot co winex

It seemed to run without errors.  Any advice welcome.  I could probably
make this build, but any time something this odd happens during a build,
my first guess is that there's an underlying assumption I need to check.
