        This is done by forking and using pipes for the IPC.  MSDOS does not
        support this functionality so this has been reproduced in the usual
        way by redirecting stdin and stdout of bison and m4 to temporary files

+       not cleanly map to 8.3 file names, you will need an OS with LFN support
+       to configure and compile the sources. On Win98 this implies that the
