Is lemon.exe required/useful/advisable for win32 compilation?

Hi.

Just looking through the configure output for win32 building ...

Saving configure options to config.nice.bat
Checking for cl.exe ...  <in default path>
  Detected compiler MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008)
  Detected 32-bit compiler
Checking for link.exe ...  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\Bin
Checking for nmake.exe ...  <in default path>
Checking for lib.exe ...  <in default path>
Checking for bison.exe ...  <in default path>
Checking for re2c.exe ...  <in default path>
  Detected re2c version 0.13.5
Checking for zip.exe ...  <in default path>
Checking for lemon.exe ...  <not found>
Checking for mc.exe ...  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin
Checking for mt.exe ...  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin


lemon.exe is not found. Compilation is working and I've got PHP
running on my dev setup (seemingly OK too! Woo Hoo!).


I've download lemon.c from http://www.hwaci.com/sw/lemon/index.html
and compiled it. Put it in the php-sdk/bin folder. configure sees it.

Build seems to be OK.


In googling, it seems lemon isn't yet playing an active part in PHP.
Is that right? Will it ever?


Richard.
