Yes, I think using the source .y and .l files and requiring the proper build 
tools to generate the parser code is the safest bet.

It’s my opinion though that, like you, i feel it’s best to include the source 
grammar.y and lexer.l in the tree, since this is the only representation that 
is meaningfully usable by a developer. For experimental code, I don’t see a 
need for the generated output to be in the repository. For a release perhaps, 
though even then I’d argue for requiring bison & flex to be installed for a 
build.
