[ragel-users] Patches to avoid build_parsers=yes/no change at dist

[Adrian Thurston]

I have a new solution: use the dist-hook like before but this time use 
"cp -p" and "touch -r" to reset the modified times of the configure.in 
and configure files after they are modified. This fixes the reconfigure 
on make issue from before.

I don't think these options are portable to older UNIX systems but my 
rationale is that "make dist" is a maintainer command anyways, and it 
isn't necessary to use it just to get ragel built and working on an 
older system.
