Bison isn't such a program, for GCC releases, only for snapshots/CVS. (Of
course the release script for 3.0 will need to handle generating bison
output files and info files, but I haven't heard it suggested that bison
should become a requirement for building releases.)
If fastjar were a GNU package, then the GNU coding standards would apply:
Likewise, if your program uses small GNU software packages like regex,
getopt, obstack, or termcap, include them in the distribution file.
Leaving them out would make the distribution file a little smaller at
the expense of possible inconvenience to a user who doesn't know what
other files to get.
