There is no procedure, as such moving of stuff across domains is a rare
affair.  But... it should not result in any Bison strings going untranslated
because Bison will now include the relevant modules from gnulib, and the
strings they contain will still be included in Bison's POT file -- they
will just be marked with "#: lib/..." instead of "#: src/...", no?

(When a new gnulib POT file gets submitted, I could do a one-time msgmerge
to "import" translated strings from Bison to gnulib.)
