Oh, I also noticed that the merge into yl-work-for-master is bad with regard
to NEWS, as it still contains the old entry w/o lex (which appears to be the
origin of the confusing wording):
- C source and header files derived from non-distributed Yacc sources
are now removed by "make clean", not only by "make maintainer-clean".
It's perhaps best if that is removed as yacc-work is re-merged into
yl-work-for-master?
Other questions:
What happens for C++ sources with extension .C (which I've seen somewhere,
forgot where)?
Cheers,
Peter
