I'm not sure we should use anything besides bison/flex.  Otherwise we
have the potential to cause subtle bugs which one cannot reproduce
because a different yacc/lex was used by the person sending the
bugreport.  We already have this somewhat due to possible bison/flex
version differences, but using entirely different programs makes it
more likely IMHO.
