Actually, you don't need Bison, because the files generated by Bison are
included in the distribution.  I am now including `prbsnflx.c++' in the
distribution, too.  This is the only file which requires Flex in order to
be generated.  I've left the tests for the presence of Bison and Flex in
the `configure.ac' file, which is used for generating the `configure'
script.  However, it shouldn't matter if the tests fail.

`yacc' is the name of the compiler generator that Bison is based on.  So
`byacc' may be another name for `bison', or a similar program.  It's not
anything to worry about.
