IDL.pm (which is generated by yapp from idl.yp) uses it. If we don't ship
Parse::Yapp::Driver, then everybody who uses the installed pidl
needs to install yapp. This affects all OpenChange users building from source.

s/no/not/ ? I think it would be great if waf could try to find
Parse::Yapp::Driver and not install it if it is already present on the system,
possibly integrated with the --with-bundled flag.
