I've been googling a lot and haven't been able to find any information on how to do this, the bootstrap command doesn't do it and I haven't found anything in any of the files in the 2.8.2 source tarball that really give me any hints, except lines like this in the generated files:

That's because flex files have a .l suffix (in your example it would be
cmListFileLexer.in.l). So, go ahead and run the command as the comment
says (and post-process the output manually, as is also stated in the
comments).
