filenaming with .yxx extensions

[Ken Foskey]

OpenOffice.org having some problems with the newer releases of bison and
OpenOffice.   OpenOffice uses the -d option with .yxx files and it does
not react the same way as 1.28 bison.

rsc uses bison to generate its parser.  Bison runs with 

        bison -d -o output input.yxx

The old bison would create

        output  (parser code)

        output.h (header for other programs).

Bison 1.31 (debian woody) creates

        output   (header code)

Work around is to run in solenv/inc/tg_yacc.mk duplicate the bison lines
and replace with:

        $(BISON) -o $(YACCOUT)$/$(YACCTARGET) $(YACCFILES)
        $(BISON) -d -o $(YACCOUT)$/$(YACCTARGET).h $(YACCFILES)

We also use .y and .yy extensions suffering similar problems.  Someone
has applied the following patch to Bison to work around the problem.

        * src/files (compute_exts_from_gf, compute_exts_from_src):
Handle
        the case where header_extension is the same as src_extension,
aka
        handle -d -o <file> where <file> doesn't have a known EXT to
        transform. e.g. if <file> is <something>.yxx, set the
        header_extension to <something>.yxx.h, as would do bison 1.28.

Please let me know what is happening so that I can pass it back to Open
Office.
