I added -s and -r switches to Bison (the GNU yacc-compatible parser generator)
which allow the user to specify how many shift/reduce conflicts and
how many reduce/reduce conflicts are expected.  No message is produced
if the numbers specified are correct.

I got tired of seeing every Makefile that used yacc say:

	@echo "expect 17 shift/reduce conflicts"
	yacc ....

I've sent in the changes so they will probably appear in a future
Bison release.
