Hi Alfred!

That's unrelated to the MSVC things.

This seems to be a problem with your bison version (and I really don't 
have a lot of knowledge about bison).

The only thing I know is that the cygwin bison version (2.3) works well 
on my machines while you seem to use the GnuWin32 (Mingw?) version.

Please follow the tools recommendations from the Developer's Guide - 
that's what I've written it for ;-)
