bison23 port needed

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

bison was updated to 2.4 but bison 2.4 is incompatible with some software that requires bison, like ​pure-devel and ​libidl. We should make a new port bison23 based off the 2.3_2 version of the bison port and modify it to install files in a new place, so both can be installed at the same time.

pure (r45033) and pure-devel (r45032) now work with bison 2.4. Perhaps the developers of libidl could use a method similar to the one used in pure to become compatible with bison 2.4, and then we wouldn't need a bison23 port?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

libidl works with bison 2.4 as of 0.8.12; libidl in MacPorts is already at 0.8.13. So it seems the need for a bison23 port has passed.
