Please make the bison changes. I have no cvs write access and
this change is essential.

It should be noticed that ENSCRIPT_LIBRARY points to the wrong place.
enscript 1.6.1 and enscript 1.6.2 places their files in the canonical places:
        /dev/env/DJDIR/etc for enscript.cfg and
        /dev/env/DJDIR/share/enscript for the AFM fonts.
AFAIK enscript 1.5.0 has been removed from simtel.net, so the ENSCRIPT_LIBRARY
is no longer needed. IMHO this entry should be removed or it should point
to the right place.

OFYI:
Bison ports from 1.29 to 1.33 install their skeleton files in the canonical
place: /dev/env/DJDIR/share/bison and at the same time as bison.{sim, hai} in
/dev/env/DJDIR/lib. This is needed to avoid changes in djgpp.env. Non of these
ports will stop working if the BISON_{SIMPLE, HAIRY} entries are removed from
djgpp.env. They all have been configured with the canonical path.
The only port that may stop working is bison 1.28. But even this port can be
recompiled with it own canonical path. If such an updated port is uploaded
to simtelnet there would be no longer the need of an bison specific entry in
djgpp.env.
If the size of the binaries, due to NLS,  is an issue, then bison 1.32 can be
recompiled and uploaded without NLS and bison 1.33 with NLS. But that is
only a suggestion.

Guerrero, Juan Manuel
