The only reason Configure asks for yacc is because developers need to
be able to have a working compiler compiler for generating said files
initially.  It is true that as a end-user, you don't really care.

Maybe we could hack the yacc.U unit to check for the existance of the
.package file at the root of the distribution.  If you're a developer,
that file will be present since it is required by metaconfig and jmake.
For non-developers, the question would be hidden.
