Cool, but a few notes. I sent patches for the previous yacc version
but some of these changes are not in this version namely:

- Don't crash on divide by zero (check for zero with divide and mod).
- Use regerror() when regcomp() fails for descriptive error messages
(and add the eregcomp() from my previous patch to util?)
- Use snprintf and add a size_t bufsiz argument to the valstr()
function. The current version is safe, but it's easy to mess these
things up.

Kind regards,
Hiltjo
