[Dibbler-devel] parser Makefile changes

[Jeff Lange]

Your explanation makes sense,  I can just see it being a problem if the
.y/.l files get out of sync with the .cpp files in CVS.  Yes I modified the
parser, I submitted a bug/patch via bugzilla for extending the functionality
of vendor-specific information options.  I also created a bug for the
Makefile changes.

Thanks
-Jeff
