Groovy.

I had a feeling we'd get bit by that.

:) The only Linux box i've got access to defaults to yacc, not bison (a
:) SuSE Linux).  Suppose you turn the YFLAGS= line into a YFLAGS += one,
:) maybe your Linuxen would default to bison -y then?

I'd say we just use byacc for now. It looks like Eric can handle that

:)
:) I guess we can't avoid autoconf/automake in the long run. :-(

Yeah, I reluctant to bring that up, but it might have to happen.
Should I get that started?
