That's true, though http://piumarta.com/software/peg/peg.1.html looks
quite fun.  Will nmh.tar ship bison's C output so only git-using
developers need to have bison?  I think that's pretty typical,
especially since there's yacc/bison/byacc;  it helps remove the
variation.  Something to consider once it's part of the build.

Cheers, Ralph.
