The build rules to regenerate plural.c are conditional on "ifneq
(no,$(BISON))". So if you document a minimum version, you should also
make the configure test check that version, so BISON is set to "no" if
too-old bison is installed, and no attempt is made at rebuilding plural.c
in that case. (The documentation should also say it's only needed for
regenerating intl/plural.c if changing intl/plural.y - it should be listed
together with autoconf and gettext in that regard.)
