Sorry, I didn't mean that.  If you are using something in bison that
yacc doesn't have, by all means use bison.  I just wanted those that
call bison (for no good reason) to be changed to yacc if that's a
simple matter of 's/bison -y/yacc/'.

 * Also, is a new USE_BISON directive needed?  Wouldn't a BUILD_DEPENDS
 * accomplish the same thing?

bison is only missing in newer -current.  bsd.port.mk will take care
of the version differences, just like it did with perl5 before.
