I'll repeat here what I mentioned to you in private email. Namely
that:
1. Neither C++ nor fortran contain a yacc/bison parser, so that's not
a problem.
2. The long term plan I heard from Mark was to merge the C parser
(and I assume objc) into the hand written one from C++, so
possibly needing bison there will go away too.
3. There remains intl/plural.y which is imported so I suspect it'll
remain YACCable.
4. The gengtype yacc stuff IMO is unlikely to need changing.
So I suspect you're safe on this issue.
However I was not aware that the existing files supported anything
other than bison, so it may simply be luck that it works today. I
don't know for sure.
