Re: Filename change to fit the "only one dot" limitation on DOS

   On DOS, there are only one dot in a filename allowed. So I changed
   all the references in Makefile.in to the YY-files which refer to *.tab.*
   to *_tab.*. This should not change any behaviour, since those files
   are only generated files.

This seems reasonable, although '-' is more standard for GDB source files
than '_', and I would install the patch that way.  Just out of curiosity,
why isn't it a problem that the generated filenames are longer than 8 chars?
