Re: ylwrap should be included for any Yacc compilations.

Hi Derek,

Sorry for the long delay.

Thank you, that's clear to me now.  Sorry I was so dense.

Using ylwrap in all cases is already planed for automake-1.10
for other reasons, so I guess that will be OK with you.

For the meantime an easy way to trick automake-1.9 into using
ylwrap is

   yourprogram_SOURCES = ... real_parser.yy ...
   nodist_EXTRA_yourprogram_SOURCES = dummy.yy

(The end of Section `Libtool Convenience Libraries' (sic)
explains a similar trick.)

If there wasn't that FIXME I'd inject this line in the inline
rule of branch-1-9.  I've made a note to fix that in 1.10 as well.
I'm sure libtool has some requoting machinery we can steal.
