[gnutls-dev][PATCH] libtasn1 has common symbol yyparse, etc.

[David Schleef]

While debugging an application based on GStreamer, I noticed
that libgstreamer and libtasn1 have a bunch of yacc symbols
that conflict.  After reading the bison (and flex) manuals,
I learned that one needs to use the -p flag to bison (-P for
flex) to tell bison to prefix each symbol, so they don't
conflict with applications that use the library.

Included is a patch to add a prefix to the yy* symbols.  I
*think* this is all that is necessary, after regenerating
ASN1.c, but let me know if there are any issues.  (E.g.,
like it breaks everything.)
