It now serves as an example for go generate as well as for yacc.
NOTE: Depends on go generate, which is not yet checked in.
This is a proof of concept of the approach.

+This directory contains a simple program demonstrating how to use
+the Go version of yacc.
+
+To build it:
+
+ $ go generate
+ $ go build
+
+or
+
+ $ go generate
+ $ go run expr.go
+
+The file main.go contains the "go generate" command to run yacc to
+create expr.go from expr.y. It also has the package doc comment,
+as godoc will not scan the .y file.
+
+The actual implementation is in expr.y.
+
+The program is not installed in the binary distributions of Go.
