One of the problems that you would face is that it's hard
to know what files will be created by Bison. Actually,
bison and only bison can know. For instance currently
for C++ it generates stack.hh and other files that users
find painful to deal with, so I plan to have them go
into the generated *.cc file, upon user request. This is
not something automake should know.
What would be your preferred option? Would you like some sort
of --dry-run option that would in addition send the list of created
files on stdout? Or an option to generate an additional file
with the list of the generated files during the normal run?
Or a Makefile snippet a la -M.
FWIW, I also use a wrapper around Bison, for several reasons:
I like to see the diffs, I want to run xsltproc to get the HTML
report, I want to keep old timestamps when possible, I'd like
to "optimize" some part of the output, etc.
Someone might find them useful, so here they are.

Thanks, fixed (see attached patch).

It still need it; without that, no header file will be generated from
the '.y' files (this is a feature, not a bug).

Maybe; but then, it should be done right, i.e., automake should also
understand hand handle the '--defines=my-hdr.h' usage. But I guess
this would conflict with ylwrap in some way, sigh :-(
Maybe it's truly time to introduce a new AM_PROG_BISON macro that
will cause automake to drop all the cruft related to POSIX yacc
compatibility ... As usual, patches welcome ;-)

Subject: [PATCH] docs: fix typo in description of AM_YFLAGS
Report by Akim Demaille.
* doc/automake.texi (Program variables): Don't list "-d -t" twice
in the examples of valid ways to specify the '-d' flag to Yacc;
instead, use "-d -t" and "-t -d". Add missing period.
