That might be another way than we are taking now. The Amiga frontend can 
either be compiled natively or cross compiled from Linux (se building-* 
files here http://source.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/docs).

Anyhow, we already copy the autogenerated output from perl, flex, bison 
and python, right now. Ori’s suggestion to move the autogenerated files 
into the ‘nsport’ repository will probably make it easier to merge e.g. 
libcss with the upstream libcss, as our ‘patching’ will reside in nsport 
(which is not cloned from any upstream repo).

It is a pity that the lexer and parser generator require GNU tools 
(flex/bison), when Plan 9 already contains the original tools 
(lex/yacc). If someone is good in lex/flex and yacc/bison, it would be 
interesting to see if these files could be made to work in both 
environments. But maybe it is like with bash vs sh in Go, that the win 
is to keep with one well defined interface. An other alternative would 
be to write a translator, it doesn’t necessarily have to be complete.
