Attached is a simple test case. It's the example
from the bison manual, cleaned up slightly to
prevent warning and error messages.

The enclosed readme should give a complete
description. One thing I'll note here too, though,
because it may be of general interest: bison.hairy
has been removed by the maintainers. Thus, setting
a BISON_HAIRY variable in the environment no longer
has any effect. Details here:

| Remove the so called hairy (semantic) parsers.

| * data/bison.hairy: Remove.

Users may wish to remove BISON_HAIRY from any
makefiles that define it, since the directive
that triggers its use has been broken 'for ages':
