Great!  One question: I remember hearing vague talk that the Bison
LALR parsing engine might be distributed under the GLGPL so that
proprietary programs could use Bison instead of yacc (conforming to
all the conditions and terms of the GLGPL, of course!); any word on
whether or not GNU folk deemed that a good idea or not, and whether or
not it will happen?  (Roland?)
