I sometimes modify projects that does that "add the generated file for 
convenience" stunt. I never find it convenient and often confusing. If the 
file can only be generated by flex, you already have a compile-time dependency 
whether you want to admit it or not.

And really.. flex? Even if some developer has managed to not have that 
installed already, it is not exactly an exotic package.
