Confirmed: It works with automake 1.13 now, but fails with 1.11. I
thought this had been broken before - strange. I was referring to
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Yacc-and-Lex.html> when
I renamed the files.

Was this an intentional change in automake? Is it worth retaining 1.11?
