In 0.7.2, I changed the symbols in the lex scanner so they wouldn't
conflict with a normal lex-produced scanner (like Solaris x86's pcap).
I failed to do that for the yacc-grammar; I'll do that right-away.
That should help the next release compile on these platforms with pcap
compiled w/o flex and bison.
