Re: [Devel] "Jamfiles" added to FT2 source directory

[Tom Kacvinsky]

I CVS removed/added yyacc to get the permissions right (it wasn't executable).
However, when I checked it back out, it had perms 777, instead of 775.

Oh well.  It build fine on Solaris, so I am going to try it out on the new FT2
files...
