Re: Building bison 2.1 on Windows

[oconnor . maryann]

Thanks, Laurence,

I'll take a look and see if this route is the one for me.  In terms of building 
from the source, I'm just trying to be consistent (grab the tar/zip file, 
untar/unzip, and build on each platform).  Binaries is a reasonable option, as 
well.

Concerning Windows: my personal taste and yours align here.  But..., sometimes 
we have to do what we don't like and Windows often is involved ;^)

Thanks, if I have any other questions, I'll ask.  I appreciate your help!
