I don't think you need bison for this task.  I would probably try to solve
the problem (carefully) using Emacs-Lisp or even just normal Emacs editing
commands (in particular, `tags-query-replace').  Other possibilities would
be gawk or Flex, though I think Flex would be overkill, unless you needed
to use it often.

Another possibility might be including a header with preprocessor macros
for replacing the names of the classes.  Not one of my favorite
techniques, but it might be worth considering.
