Hard feelings aside (and sorry, the tone around here has become somewhat
invective recently), we're generally reluctant to take more host software
to build reactos.  Also, software required to build reactos should
generally be able to work in an unencumbered environment such as linux
or freebsd.  Several of us (and the build server) use linux to build
reactos.  We've even done some soul searching about, in my opinion, 
very safe choices like flex and bison and found them to be too much of
a burden.
