I ... think so ... Nope, I take it back. Yacc is found regardless.
The problem is that changing jamgram.yy causes yyacc to run but
doesn't cause yacc to run again.

...found 44 targets...

.cc bin.ntx86\yyacc.exe
yyacc.c
.yyacc jamgram.y jamgramtab.h
.cc bin.ntx86\mkjambase.exe
mkjambase.c
.cc bin.ntx86\jam.exe
