Thanks!

One thing to note, after I did a fresh checkout, then run ./bootstrap I
got the configure files. I moved into another directory and typed
../bison/configure --prefix=/foo and that worked fine. Finally, I typed
'make', and I got this:

    $ make -s
    cd ../bison && /bin/sh /home/bob/cvs/bison/bison/build-aux/missing --run 
automake-1.9 --gnu
    running /bin/sh ../bison/configure  --prefix=/home/bob/cvs/bison/target  
--no-create --no-recursion
    checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
    checking whether build environment is sane... yes
    checking for gawk... no

This may be normal, but it seems slightly incorrect. I believe the
configure stuff should already be done at this point.

Other than this minor problem, I'm up and running!

Thanks again,
