possible solution, probably the cleanest one, but - as you said - requires 
developers to download bison.

NEVER do this, unless you want to keep dozens of binary files for 
every possible operating system in the tree...
Adding the whole bison source to the CVS probably isn't a solution, too.

another possible solution, but one should also check in the grammar files 
used to generate the bison output. Addintionally, in this case, every
developer changing the bison files has to pay attention to also run bison...

Solutions A and C already have been already discussed on this list, they
both have advantages and disadvantages.
I just wanted to point out that, for obvious reasons, B *is not a solution* 
to the problem.
