All other things being equal I'd rather not maintain a different
skeleton.  On the other hand, if it's too much of a pain to squeeze it
into yacc.c (as I suspect it is) I suppose you might as well go with a
different skeleton.

That sounds like a reasonable suggestion, yes.

I don't at all mind requiring a pure reentrant parser.  You can
assume that, if you like.

Good luck!
