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?
