I just did a diff of /usr/src/usr.bin/yacc and byacc-20100610.
The changes aren't that large (when ignoring the deleted copyrights
and the code style changes (going away from, not to KNF).

I think we should just grab any good changes and leave yacc where it is.

Yes.  Do NOT delete svn:mergeinfo properties.
