pgsql: Remove all traces that suggest that a non-Bison yacc might be

Log Message:
-----------
Remove all traces that suggest that a non-Bison yacc might be supported, and
change build system to use only Bison. Simplify build rules, make file names
uniform. Don't build the token table header file where it is not needed.

I'm finding that this patch is needed to make this build on VPATH:

The problem is that keywords.c is #including "parser/gram.h" but since
we're doing a -I.../backend/parser then it doesn't find it.

I don't understand why it was working previously.

This would create a reference to src/backend, but no .h file should ever
live there.

The problem is that keywords.c is #including "parser/gram.h" but since
we're doing a -I.../backend/parser then it doesn't find it.

I think the -I$(srcdir) is actually useless, and you are just
accidentally adapting it for your workaround.

"make maintainer-clean" before pulling this update would be a good idea,
else you're going to have junk laying about in your source tree.

Yeah, it should be finding the symlink in $builddir/src/include/parser.

If the -I isn't needed, shouldn't we get rid of it?

Hmm, yeah, I just manually deleted everything mentioned in .cvsignore
and it works now.

It seems there's no way to do this directly. I have this:

find . -name .cvsignore | while read line
do
dir=$(dirname $line)
cd $dir
rm -fv `cat .cvsignore`
cd "$OLDPWD"
done

Could we have a target in the root Makefile for this? Right now it
bails out with

$ make distclean
You need to run the 'configure' program first. See the file
'INSTALL' for installation instructions.
make: *** [distclean] Erreur 1

! override CPPFLAGS := -I$(srcdir)/.. $(CPPFLAGS)

This would create a reference to src/backend, but no .h file should ever
live there.

Right -- the point is that keywords.c has
#include "parser/gram.h"
so if you start from src/backend, then the file is found.

The problem is that keywords.c is #including "parser/gram.h" but since
we're doing a -I.../backend/parser then it doesn't find it.

Could be. Maybe we could just remove the line to avoid future
confusion.

Ah, so that's the necessary trick. Thanks.
