* read_pipe.c
This is not portable to DOS for instance. Implement a more portable
scheme. Sources of inspiration include GNU diff, and Free Recode.
particular, expect the scanner to be hard to write. Many interesting
features cannot be implemented without such a new reader.

-I've also noticed something, that whilst not *wrong*, is inconvienient: I
-use the verbose mode to help find the causes of unresolved shift/reduce
-conflicts. However, this mode insists on starting the .output file with a
-list of *resolved* conflicts, something I find quite useless. Might it be
-possible to define a -v mode, and a -vv mode -- Where the -vv mode shows
-everything, but the -v mode only tells you what you need for examining
-conflicts? (Or, perhaps, a "*** This state has N conflicts ***" marker above
-each state with conflicts.)

* $undefined
From Hans:
- If the Bison generated parser experiences an undefined number in the
Note: Robert Anisko handles this. He knows how to do it.

* Warnings
It would be nice to have warning support. See how Autoconf handles
them, it is fairly well described there. It would be very nice to
