Add reflex by Mr. Thomas Dickey to the benchmarks #212

Hey there,

Thank you for your time and effort on RE/flex!

I was wondering if it were possible to add Mr. Thomas's reflex to the benchmarks?

Will check it out.

The guy says that RE/flex is not POSIX compliant because it does not generate C code. How silly. The RE/flex documentation states that RE/flex extends Flex++, not Flex or Lex for C, and that it supports POSIX-compliant Flex/Lex specifications. The standard is actually very limited, so it is a silly point to make as a complaint.
