Yes, I think using the source .y and .l files and requiring the proper build tools to generate the parser code is the safest bet.

[ ... ] It’s my opinion though that, like you, i feel it’s best to include the source grammar.y and lexer.l in the tree, since this is the only representation that is meaningfully usable by a developer. For experimental code, I don’t see a need for the generated output to be in the repository. For a release perhaps, though even then I’d argue for requiring bison & flex to be installed for a build. — Dr Peter M.
