Description:
Into the list of packages required to build mysql-proxy the package "flex" don't appear but without it compilation fails.

How to repeat:
Remove "flex" package and try to compile.

Suggested fix:
Correct INSTALL file.

This is what I see in INSTALL file after doing

bzr pull

for lp:mysql-proxy:

"Installation Instructions
*************************

Installing from Bazaar
======================

Get the latest source from:

  $ bzr branch lp:mysql-proxy

Later you can update the tree by running

  $ cd mysql-proxy/
  $ bzr pull

As you built from BZR none of the configure scripts is prepared. You need:

- autoconf 2.56 or higher
- automake 1.9 or higher
- libtool 1.5.x (not higher)
- flex"

So it clearly stated one needs flex.

Added the requirement for "flex" to the sections of Debian and Redhat.
