Is ragel mandatory to compil?

[EmericBr]

In install doc it is written we need ragel to edit and recompile the .rl file. This implicitly means we can compile without installed ragel
command if we don't want to modify the .rl file. isn't it? In practice i'm unable to compile the untarred sources without the ragel command.

• You'll need Ragel 6.x ( http://www.complang.org/ragel/ ) if you want to
  be able to edit and recompile the .rl parser source code for the
  configuration and zonefile languages.

Ragel is mandatory build dependency of 3.8.x, documentation is out of date.
