Huh?

> WTF is bison?  And why do I need it to compile the snapshot?

(1) bison is the GNU replacement for yacc.

(2) I made a mistake in migrating java;  the current egcs
(and future snapshots) should have things fixed that the
cvs repository again includes the bison-generated parse.c
(and thus you should you no longer need bison).

(3) However, it is likely that at somepoint we will no longer
include bison-generated files in the cvs tree.  In that case,
if you want to build from the cvs sources, you will need
bison.  However, actual *release* (and snapshot) *tar* files
will still include the bison-generated files.

(4) In any case, you might want to remove or not build the java
stuff; without a run-time (coming soon!), it won't do you much good.
