I think there is a bug if the --defines=xx is before -o it does not
work.  It breaks the same as -o alone, so I think Paul is right here.

Bug number 3:

I understand gwen has commented as well and you are considering putting

Problem with suggestion:

It does not run with bison 1.28 OO baseline  (try it).

I have however supplied a 1.33 only patch but this is dependant on
acceptance and forcing an upgrade of all developers, not pretty.
