ylwrap doesn’t update *.output on failure

[Nikolai Weibull]

Hi!

It seems that ylwrap doesn’t update *.output on failure. The *.output file
is very useful for debugging any failure, so I don’t quite see why this
isn’t being generated. Am I thinking about this wrong?

My AM_YFLAGS are --warnings=all,error --report=all.

A simple fix would be to remove the current if that guards the whole
file-comparison-and-renaming part of ylwrap and instead add

if $ret -eq 0; then
selection=*
else
selection=*.output
fi

for from in $selection

I haven't used Bison much myself so I don't know if you are overlooking
something.

I would need some advices before fixing this. I am CCing Tom Tromey (a
previous Automake maintainer) which might have a more enlightened look.

Thanks.
