Well, problem #3 *was* due to the differences between bison and yacc - the
build completed with bison installed.  Apparently, iniparse.y is
bison-specific.  This also eliminates problem #1 as trivially false.
The setup homepage should mention bison, though.  I can provide a patch if
needed, although it'll probably be more effort to review it and change my
wording than to simply fix the webpage...

Problem #2 still stands -- one either needs to execute the appropriate
touch command, or watch his make fail, unable to write to aclocal.m4.  Not
sure what the fix should be.
