Another issue is that if you today need to write a parser in lex/yacc, then you probably made a bad decision along the way. There are today lots of well supported meta formats with excellent and well tested parsers, e.g. json, xml, yaml, config/ini, and your ROI is better spent integrating one of these than reinventing the wheel.
(That said from someone who invented a meta format (and used lex/yacc) which I used for a number of years until I switched to using json. See: http://xnm.sourceforge.net/ .)
