A lot of reason indeed. Main ones were:
- lack of flexibility (I18N, various inputs, etc ...)
- problem linking apps when 2 different modules are based
on lex/yacc, trying to lower dependancies to bare minimum
- I prefered having one parser function per production
rule in the C code rather tahn having the loging in the
.y and just helping functions in an associated module.
