# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_PROG_FLEX_VERSION([VERSION],[ACTION-IF-TRUE],[ACTION-IF-FALSE])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Makes sure that flex version is greater or equal to the version
#   indicated. If true the shell commands in ACTION-IF-TRUE are executed. If
#   not the shell commands in commands in ACTION-IF-TRUE are executed. If
#   not the shell commands in ACTION-IF-FALSE are run. Note if $FLEX is not
#   set (for example by running AC_CHECK_PROG or AC_PATH_PROG) the macro
#   will fail.
#
#   Example:
#
#     AC_PATH_PROG([FLEX],[flex])
#     AX_PROG_FLEX_VERSION([2.5.39],[ ... ],[ ... ])
#
#   This will check to make sure that the flex you have is at least version
#   2.5.39 or greater.
#
#   NOTE: This macro uses the $FLEX variable to perform the check.
