Re: ylwrap in gnulib/build-aux?

Hi Karl,

Nothing in gnulib needs this file so far, and the Automake documentation
says that 'automake --install' handles it already:

   When `lex' or `yacc' sources are used, `automake -i' automatically
   installs an auxiliary program called `ylwrap' in your package (*note
   Auxiliary Programs::)

But Eric's argument from [1], the ability to get the newest version between
Automake releases, also holds for this file. So I'd say, it would indeed be
useful.
