No? If there are bugs in it, they will break the main SQL parser, not
only ecpg. I am scared.
My idea of a reasonable fallback is to add prebuilt-with-the-beta-bison
output files to the ecpg directory, but not anyplace else. That is
ugly, but the effects of any bison problems will be limited to ecpg.
I am also still wondering if we couldn't tweak the grammar to eliminate
states so that ecpg would build with a standard bison. That would be a
win all 'round, but it requires effort that we maybe don't have to
spend.
