Perhaps this is an unlikely scenario.  I really wouldn't know.  I do know
that I've never needed both.

Assuming that scenario is unlikely, instead of changing autotools,
consider changing bison.  The user who wants to use autotool's lex and
yacc features but who wants to remove the #define's could do the
following. AC_PATH_PROG(YACC,bison) would ensure that bison is found.
Then the user could just add something like `--yacc=file-names' to YACC.

For now, `--yacc=file-names,token-defines' would be equivalent to `-y' or
`--yacc'.
