Actually, I regenerated the scanner. However, the results did not change
after applying the patch, because the definition that the patch removes
(ws) is not used anywhere. It is only a cleanup.

Regenerating the scanner and the parser code with newer versions of
flex and bison results in code changes. However, they are not related to
the patch, but originate from updates in flex and bison.
Therefore I did not see any point in including the regenerated files in 
this patch set.

Of course, if you see any benefit in regenerating the *_shipped files, I can
still do so.
