I actually just touched parse.c before building (on linux) because
I didn't have a yacc (yeah bison was, there, but I haven't got
around to trying it yet). As long as you are not actually making changes
to parse.y, this should be fine ;-(. Depending what order CVS pulled
them out, other people might not actually be rebuilding it.
Obviously, on NT, we just use the checked in file. I think the checked
in versions at IB were yacced using solaris.

Looking at parse.sed, it seems it might be pretty specific to
the yacc involved.

FLINTSTONE is totally useless. I'm 99.9% positive if you grep
the source for it, you will not find it used ANYWHERE. It was
the code-name for a 4.0 project that somehow never got
removed from the makefiles. 

OK. I just verified this. FLINTSTONE can be removed from the makefiles.
But what is interesting is that FLINT_CACHE still exists both in the
checked-in parse.c and in sql.c
Doesn't look like it is ever defined. We'll have to find someone from
the 4.0 project to tells what this all means.

for d in * ; do if [ -d $d ] ; then grep FLINT $d/*.[ceh]; fi; done
