Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 Who is *you* here?

 Currently the portfile indicates that it doesn't install libraries, and
 that appears to be true.
 I don't think it's a particularly good idea to split up the package in
 this case. There are times where I appreciate Debian's way of splitting up
 things and wished things were done the same way in MacPorts, but most of
 the time it just adds extra work. Remember that Debian creates split-up
 packages *after* building the full project *once* (I presume Arch would do
 the same). MacPorts doesn't allow that kind of efficiency AFAIK.

 I'd be in favour of merging the +yacc variant into the main port, and also
 wondered about the examples. In fact, I'd be in favour of moving the
 examples to a variant; most people are probably not interested in them
 anyway because they install bison only as a result of some automatic
 dependency. (And most who do use the application won't need examples
 anymore.)
