Welcome to the club :-)
If you can find a site where they explain what a lexalizer does, I think
you might be halfway through understanding the code. ("a lexalizer is used
to lexalize some code/text", well dûh, but what lexalizing then...)

The 'problem' is that (NB, I asked it friendly) they don't want to make the
compiler separate between machines (they do with processor type though). So
you can't specify that you compile for the Z88 or for the Ti83. You'll need
to copy the right (header) files into the right directory to make things
work for different machines. Although it isn't impossible, it looks like a
PITA to me.
They basicaly only think about targeting "boards", where you solder your
own (Z80) circuit, and have the entier adress space for your program alone.
