Why offtopic ? The configure test for bison in Midnight
Commander CVS fails with the new version, 1.29.

Anyway, if bison isn't used by MC, then the test can be
removed ?

configure:5235: checking for bison
configure:5250: found /usr/bin/bison
configure:5258: result: bison
configure:5271: checking version of bison
configure:5280: result: v. ?.??, bad

BTW, are these tests of any use ?

checking for netscape... no
checking for arena... no
checking for Mosaic... no
checking for chimera... no

checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers
checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes

The last 2 are for --with-tm-x-support ?

BTW, I noticed the following in configure:

  --with-x                use the X Window System
  --with-tm-x-support        Try getting events from X Window
System
--with-vfs                 Compile with the VFS code
...
--with-ext2undel           Compile with ext2 undelete code

Notice the 2 spaces ? I'm using Autoconf 2.52 and Automake
1.5.

I'm really sorry if I missed your point. I'll read the
documents now.
