bison has been a consistent source of irritation/entertainment
as every few months they seem to change the argument meanings.
I'm tempted to just include premade bison output in the snapshot
tarball and be done with it. Hmm...

A lot of packages do exactly that.

But, I'm forced to wonder...why not just use standard yacc mode ("bison -y")? It's portable, it's supported *everywhere*, and it Just Works(tm).
