I'm looking into making the modula-3-lib port use byacc, but I'm
not sure yet whether it'll work.

But is it really worth it?  If the right tool is available then it
seems better to use it rather than add special patches to a bunch of
ports.

Also, is a new USE_BISON directive needed?  Wouldn't a BUILD_DEPENDS
accomplish the same thing?

Inquiring minds want to know ... :-)

John
