   The problem is Zack used Bison 1.28 rather than the standard 1.25
   normally used to build these files. Newer versions of Bison number
   tokens differently.

   It suspect Jeff would won't c-parse.c rebuit using bison version
   1.25

I walked around the project web pages, and other documents, looking
for a difinitive statement about policy wrt. Bison versions used
to generate files.  I could not find anything.

This is probably a source of confusion for some developers, so no
matter whether the 1.25 or 1.28 version is the one to use, it should
be stated explicitly in the faq.html#generate_files section of the
project FAQ.
