if it is still the same one i put together a while ago, the one in
win32build.zip is compiled with msvc6 from the 'stock' gnu source, and
*not* with cygwin. there's no -S option because that appears to be a
non-standard extension that someone added along the line for a version of
bison used to compile php3. the correct way to specify the path to the
skeleton file is to set the BISON_SIMPLE environment variable.

don't know if that helps.
