Note that there is a difference between running Bison on a system and  
the parsers it generates. The latter are generally written to be  
multiplatform. So a distribution of a project using a Bison generated  
parser may typically include the parser, allowing the end user to  
compile it from the .y file, if need would arise. This distribution  
method is to be recommended, because the Bison versions supplied with  
the system may often be quite old.
