yacc.c does not prototype yyparse in the header

Hi all,

Bruce Korb just pointed out to me that Bison 2.5.1 does
not prototype yyparse in the generated header, with yacc.c.
The other skeletons do.  I don't understand why.  I see
nothing in the documentation of Yacc that prevents this,
and surely this is troublesome for many uses.

I don't think there are problems here.  I guess we only have
to pay attention to handle %prefix via M4, and not via CPP,
to avoid having

#define yyparse fooparse

leak from the header (yet we could also #define it first,
then undefine at the end, in case one would like to use the
name "yyparse" in whatever export %code snippet; but do we
really need to cover this?  The less CPP, the better).

Am I missing something?
