The output of YACC is compatible with C++.  The compiler grumbles a bit
about the sloppy function declarations, but there are no fatal errors.
Lex is a bit worse; the complaints from the compiler are a bit louder,
though still non-fatal.  I run the output of lex through a sed script
to clean up warnings plus a few self-inflicted problems.
