The following patch may help, too: it makes the generated parsers always
use absolute module references, by adding a leading dot to some function
calls (both in yecc.erl and yeccpre.hrl).

I chose this solution over two other approaches:

1. adding -import(lists) and -import(io_lib) to yeccpre.hrl;
2. asking the Yecc users to explicitly add -import(lists) and
-import(io_lib) to the "Erlang code" section of their grammars,
when they want to generate parsers inside a package hierarchy.

IMHO the patch is clearer (no packaging issues at all) and cleaner (it
does not interfere with "Erlang code" sections by adding unexpected
imports).

Regards,
