:)

I did a little poking around on a RedHat machine I have access to and
found that RH ships with byacc *and* bison.  The yacc on Redhat
actually is that of byacc (which btw is the Berkeley LALR parser
generator).

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/yacc
byacc-1.9-11
$

My machine however had yacc == bison 1.28.

Now on the RH machine I ran yacc -v vtkParse vtkParse.y on the current
vtkParse.y and it worked.  I have to test it out though.  I have just
installed byacc on my Debian machine and will try out on the nightly
sources.  If it works okay I will commit the new vtkParse.tab.c and
hopefully end all this madness. :)

Thanks,
