That might be another way than we are taking now. The Amiga frontend can=20
either be compiled natively or cross compiled from Linux (se building-*=20
files here http://source.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/docs).

Anyhow, we already copy the autogenerated output from perl, flex, bison=20
and python, right now. Ori=E2=80=99s suggestion to move the autogenerated=
 files=20
into the =E2=80=98nsport=E2=80=99 repository will probably make it easier=
 to merge e.g.=20
libcss with the upstream libcss, as our =E2=80=98patching=E2=80=99 will r=
eside in nsport=20
(which is not cloned from any upstream repo).

It is a pity that the lexer and parser generator require GNU tools=20
(flex/bison), when Plan 9 already contains the original tools=20
(lex/yacc). If someone is good in lex/flex and yacc/bison, it would be=20
interesting to see if these files could be made to work in both=20
environments. But maybe it is like with bash vs sh in Go, that the win=20
is to keep with one well defined interface. An other alternative would=20
be to write a translator, it doesn=E2=80=99t necessarily have to be compl=
ete.
