Akim Demaille 8c44d3ec49 Do not hard code values of directories in `configure.in'.
Update the `configure' tool chain.

* configure.in (XPFILE, XPFILE1, LOCALEDIR): Remove, handled by
src/makefile.am.
(VERSION_STRING): Use the third arg of AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED.
(AC_OUTPUT): Add m4/Makefile.
Bump to bison 1.28a, 1.29 has never been released.
* acconfig.h (XPFILE, XPFILE1, LOCALEDIR): Remove, since they are
handled via src/Makefile.am.
(VERSION_STRING, PROTOTYPES, ENABLE_NLS, HAVE_CATGETS,
HAVE_GETTEXT, HAVE_LC_MESSAGES, HAVE_STPCPY): Remove, handled by
autoheader.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add m4.
(ACLOCAL_AM_FLAGS): New variable.
(AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Add check-news.
* src/Makefile.am (bison.simple): Use awk to replace #line lines with
the proper line number and file name.
(DEFS): Propagate the location of bison library files and of the
locale files.
(INCLUDES): Added `-I ..' so that one can compile with srcdir !=
builddir.
* acinclude.m4: Remove, replaced by the directory m4.
* m4/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
* m4/gettext.m4: New file, from the fileutils.
* m4/lcmessage.m4: Likewise
* m4/progtest.m4: Likewise.
* m4/bison-decl.m4: New file, extracted from former acinclude.m4.

Bison News
----------
Changes in version 1.28a:
* Russian translation added.
* NLS support updated; should hopefully be less troublesome.
* Added the old Bison reference card.
Changes in version 1.28:
* Should compile better now with K&R compilers.
* Added NLS.
* Fixed a problem with escaping the double quote character.
* There is now a FAQ.
Changes in version 1.27:
* The make rule which prevented bison.simple from being created on
some systems has been fixed.
Changes in version 1.26:
* Bison now uses automake.
* New mailing lists: <bug-bison@gnu.org> and <help-bison@gnu.org>.
* Token numbers now start at 257 as previously documented, not 258.
* Bison honors the TMPDIR environment variable.
* A couple of buffer overruns have been fixed.
* Problems when closing files should now be reported.
* Generated parsers should now work even on operating systems which do
not provide alloca().
Changes in version 1.25:
* Errors in the input grammar are not fatal; Bison keeps reading
the grammar file, and reports all the errors found in it.
* Tokens can now be specified as multiple-character strings: for
example, you could use "<=" for a token which looks like <=, instead
of chosing a name like LESSEQ.
* The %token_table declaration says to write a table of tokens (names
and numbers) into the parser file. The yylex function can use this
table to recognize multiple-character string tokens, or for other
purposes.
* The %no_lines declaration says not to generate any #line preprocessor
directives in the parser file.
* The %raw declaration says to use internal Bison token numbers, not
Yacc-compatible token numbers, when token names are defined as macros.
* The --no-parser option produces the parser tables without including
the parser engine; a project can now use its own parser engine.
The actions go into a separate file called NAME.act, in the form of
a switch statement body.
Changes in version 1.23:
The user can define YYPARSE_PARAM as the name of an argument to be
passed into yyparse. The argument should have type void *. It should
actually point to an object. Grammar actions can access the variable
by casting it to the proper pointer type.
Line numbers in output file corrected.
Changes in version 1.22:
--help option added.
Changes in version 1.20:
Output file does not redefine const for C++.
