"constructing the machinery" -> "construct the machinery"

bactrian commented 11 years ago

This comment references this from milestone alpha5: http://www.realworldocaml.org/alpha5/en/html/parsing-with-ocamllex-and-menhir.html#idp10156768

Context:

There are many techniques for lexing and parsing. In the lex/yacc world, lexing is specified using regular expressions, and parsing is specified using context-free grammars. These are concepts from formal languages; the lex/yacc tools constructing the machinery for you. For lex, this means constructing a finite automaton; and for yacc, this means constructing a pushdown automaton.
