Unlike autoconf and friends, bison is called in the build process and is almost always hard coded. Enough ports don't break so as opposed to chasing around the ports tree hunting down and replacing bison with bison1875, it seemed good enough to keep this hanging around with out mangling ports. It's not ideal, but it's not like autoconf where we can substitute running autoconf with autoconf213. -sc -- Sean Chittenden
