Thanks, I now know what bison is.

However, it hasn't been needed in the last several snapshot's, until 1019
(or possibly 1012, as I skipped that one).

Linux is not the system I'm attempting to compile this on, and any
assumption of a flavor of OS is not the Right Thing(tm).  

Also, inclusion of any and all necessary files, apps, tools, lib's, etc.
for compilation on the Web site would be _extremely_ useful.  I've looked
and could find ref. only to the testsuite tools needed.

Thanks,
Rand.
