Essentially, the skeleton in bison.simple uses an allocator (alloca or
malloc) and a deallocator (nothing or free()). Essentially, you should be
able to just replace them.

This might be done by say a macro in the .y source file, or by editing
bison.simple; The latter you may have to try, if you need some more radical
changes.

If you want to know what Bison writes, you can create and use a skeleton
file bison.empty containing only:
%% actions /* The action file replaces this line. */

Then you will know if it is possible to make additions to write your own
skeleton code.
