This patch refactors these macros to also checks for the required given
versions of bison and re2c.
- PHP_PROG_RE2C and PHP_PROG_BISON take optional args - minmimum version
required, and bison also excluded versions.
- Instead of caching values this uses manual checking and messaging
outputs.
- It looks like the minimum version of RE2C 0.13.4 is working ok so far.
The genfiles script improvements:
- Add make override in genfiles
- Move checkings from makedist to genfiles
- Refactored output messages
- Various minor enhancements
With Bison 3.0 some directives are deprecated:
- %name-prefix "x" should be %define api.prefix {x}
- %error-verbose should be %define parse.error verbose
Bison 3.3 also started emiting more warnings and since PHP souce parsers
are not POSIX compliant this patch fixes this as pointed out via
495a46aa1d.
The more proper place for shell scripts dedicated for development, and
releasing PHP should be the scripts/dev directory. Having a cleaner root
project directory helps find the main README.md and files relevant to
install PHP.
These scripts are also used by the release managers mostly who create
release packages and aren't used often by the majority of developers
working on and installing PHP.
