I think this must be a minor problem only.  Normally, bison is mostly
a superset of yacc (as with many GNU tools).

Bison might have other weaknesses, but for a simple config file, we
don't need to care.  I agree that it should be made to work with both.

address@hidden 230% which byacc yacc bison
/usr/bin/byacc
/usr/bin/yacc
/usr/local/bin/bison

So, byacc and yacc are identical (yacc is the default for YACC in make,
as it used to be the case on Unix), bison is an additional package.
