Ah you are a wonderful man but what I was going to do was fetch a
reasonable flavour of the thingy and with a reasonable license and
build the damn thingy for the old Solaris boxen.

However we could also, just because it is so small, slide it into
the test harness area if and only if it does not exist locally on
the machine doing the bison build. Sort of a configure lets look
and see and if we can not find it then use a local copy and keep
the tests because we all love tests! We need tests. Let the tests
run free!  :)
