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
