Unfortunately I am using Gentoo. To use the latest version I will have 
to manage my own "ebuild" and use a different compile tree in Portage. I 
am trying to avoid this because I know very little about it.

Yes but one of the developer's of Menhir (Francois Pottier I think) has 
in fact provided the .SCANNER rules so this is not an issue I think. In 
fact I have made some suggestions to change the OMakefile and he has 
considered these.

Nevertheless I have completed this task with success thanks to you and
Jason.
