Not sure, for example in Java a sensible output filename would not have 
any ".tab", so some knowledge of the language needs to be there in Bison 
to make such choices.

Also, "glr.c#" is not really a nice filename, it should be "glr.cs" and 
the language directive arguments would be "C#" (possibly with a synonym 
"C-Sharp").

Agreed.  Or just use the extension which ".y" maps to, which would be 
hopefully platform-independent -- ".cc" in the case of C++.
