I have very little faith in configure scripts.  About half, or perhaps more,
of programs with configure scripts that I install on my machine bug out
either during the configure phase or during compilation, at which point
I have to edit the scripts myself, to see what they are trying to do and
what goes wrong.

If something goes wrong with the compilation of DGD, I would much rather
have the solution within easy reach.  Putting the YACC variable in the top
Makefile is a good idea.
