We do ship just the preprocessed output.  We need the new bison on
postgresql.org and we need the CVS to be updated for the new version and
then beta2 will hold the proper bison output.

I have a dumb idea...

Why not just package the output of the Bison beta version?

It may not be comprehensible, but it does not need to be generated on
any particular target machine does it?

Sure, it would be nice to be able to process the original grammar on any
client workstation.  But if it will hold up the entire project, why not
just ship the preprocessed output?
