I will take a look but don't hold your breath; my plate is already full. One further issue is whether go has any other bison dependencies. > I think porting bison is the wrong way to go, personally. They lost me at configure. Why should a parser generator need on anything more than string.h, stdio,h and may be stdlib.h is beyond me. All it does is manipulate lists, sets and vectors!
