Hum, I think I added even more confusion :)  When you said `doing by
hand' I did understood make alpha failed for you, but even by hand you
ran make dist, which (should) makes sure the test suite is up to date.

How bizarre...  Anyway, make alpha does not try to be portable (for a
start it uses GNU make :).

OK.


Having the beta is a good thing for the translations, but I don't
think we should aim at a release so soon.  My plans for the next
release includes addressing the lex-param, parse-param, and yyerror
issues.  AFAICS, there is no need (= no bug fix) for a replacement of
1.75, right?
