The configure script of xine-lib 1-rc5 uses this sed command:

sed -n 's/^.*GNU Bison.* \([0-9]*\.[0-9.]*\).*$/\1/p'

which looks very similar to what you suppose. If there is still something 
wrong with this, it is actually a bug in autoconf, since the configure 
scripts will be auto-generated by that tool.
