no problem :-)
yes i know they need each other when building, i was going to integrate the
spec for them, but it didn't work too well. (remote connection suck)
there is a bug in configure.in, you just need to patch it go get it to
work...

> Happy is flexible; unlike `yacc', you can have several Happy parsers in
