Bug#1003769: RFS: byacc/1.0-2 [ITA] -- public domain Berkeley LALR Yacc parser generator



Hello Thomas,

What is the difference between Yacc and Lex GNU tools.
And Byacc or Bison?!

Berkeley still a source of truthful tools and clean mainstream.
Do it keep byacc and blex.

Kind regards,

fwiw, the reference files in test/*yacc show that backtracking doesn't
simply _add_ definitions:

 155 files changed, 53852 insertions(+), 1785 deletions(-)

(presumably reviewing those deletions would tell me whether two binaries
are still needed).
