No recent contributor is credited in the NEWS file, and there have been 
many.  I guess this is my fault as I had always thought the ChangeLog was 
the usual place for that.  It's fine with me to add Odd to NEWS, but we 
should add the rest of them at the same time.

However, I don't know how you want that to look.  Do we list all 
contributors for each feature?  In this case, Odd was the original 
developer.  Bob Rossi prepared it for modern Bison.  Paul Eggert, you, and 
I gave advice and made substantial code contributions before the first 
release.  Did I forget anyone?  We would have the same questions for 
recent features such as DOT, Java, named references, XML, etc.

If you want to get that started, I'll try to follow your lead.  However, 
do we postpone 2.4.2 until this is done?  I was hoping to roll it this 
week.

In any case, I just realized that Odd wasn't even properly credited in the 
ChangeLog when push.c was originally added to Bison, so I pushed this to 
master, branch-2.5, and branch-2.4.2.
