Bug description:  if flex is outdated, error does not occur in configure stage

Description:
------------
I had flex 2.5.33 installed, and needed 2.5.4, but the first error message
was a brief "flex needs to be 2.5.4" that scrolled by so fast in
./configure that I missed it.

The next error was fatal, and was when zend_language_scanner.c could not
be found.

Basically, $LEX was being set to "exit 0;" which did prevent generation of
a bad zend_language_scanner.c, but the error message was not helpful.

Better would be "flex is out of date" and termination while configuring

This is from a CVS checkout, which is obviously different from a snapshot
or release build.
