I updated my cluster to 1.2.12 today.  All machines are running  
FreeBSD 6.1/i386 or 6.2/amd64.  It upgraded very nicely on all boxes  
except one.

On one box, I happend to have bison 1.75 installed.  This caused slony  
compile to fail miserably when it tried to regenerate the parser for  
the log shipper, as shown below.  Simply uninstalling bison allowed it  
to build to completion and successful deployment.

What's the minimum version of bison this will work with?  If possible,  
the configure script should check for that.
