You can use the same lexer for both bovine and wisent.

Yep, you can do that too.  You just need to produce the same style tokens.

You will probably find it is easier to just use define-lex since that 
lets you define individual match cases and then group them together 
later.  For each case, some you can have wisent create from your defined 
tokens, use a predefined one such as for comments, newlines, etc, or 
write your own.
