This is what I use now:

let menhir_opts = S[A"--external-tokens";
                     A"EasyToken";
                     A"--base";
                     A"EasyParser";
                     A"EasyToken.mly"
                    ];;

flag ["ocaml"; "parser"; "menhir" ] (menhir_opts);
flag ["ocaml"; "menhir_ocamldep" ] (menhir_opts);

Two things happen, though, both undesirable:

1) Menhir cannot find EasyToken.mly unless I manually go into _build  
and symlink the file from ../

2) ocamlbuild tries to compile EasyToken.mly. I want to avoid this as  
this file is not set up for compilation.

How do I prevent ocamlbuild from trying to compile EasyToken.mly  
while still copying it into _build/ for Menhir to find it?

Alternatively, how do I specify custom flags for the Menhir run on  
EasyToken.mly? I need to add --token-only, for example.

And one last thing, how do I apply menhir_opts to certain mly files  
but not others?

	Thanks, Joel
