+-*- outline -*-
+
+This directory contains Bison skeletons: the general shapes of the
+different parser kinds, that are specialized for specific grammars by
+the bison program.
+
+Currently, there are only three supported skeletons:
+
+- yacc.c
+  It used to be named bison.simple: it corresponds to C Yacc
+  compatible LALR(1) parsers.
+
+- lalr1.cc
+  Produces a C++ parser class.  It is still very experimental, and not
+  yet supported.  Please, subscribe to bison-patches@gnu.org.
+
+- glr.c
+  A Generalized LR C parser based on Bison's LALR(1) tables.
+
+These skeletons are the only ones supported by the Bison team.
+Because the interface between skeletons and the bison program is not
+finished, *we are not bound to it*.  In particular, Bison is not
+mature enough for us to consider that ``foreign skeletons'' are
+supported.
