libpcap won't compile with MacPorts' flex

Description

Hi there, if you install flex from MacPorts and then try to install libpcap, the compilation will fail due to flex version mismatch:

/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -dynamiclib -o libpcap.`cat VERSION`.dylib \
        -install_name /opt/local/lib/libpcap.0.dylib \
        -compatibility_version 1.0.0 -current_version `cat VERSION` \
        pcap-bpf.o fad-getad.o pcap.o inet.o gencode.o optimize.o nametoaddr.o etherent.o savefile.o bpf_filter.o bpf_image.o bpf_dump.o  scanner.o grammar.o version.o  
ld: Undefined symbols:

The workaround is to ensure that /usr/bin/flex is invoked (probably by passing LEX=/usr/bin/flex to configure or something).

This does not appear to be a problem with flex @2.5.35_0 and libpcap @1.0.0_1 anymore.
