To get yylex() to return the tokens from the list, you'd have replace the
input routine it uses, with one that fakes input based upon the list of
tokens. This is more hassle than it's worth *8).
The correct/easiest way to do it, is to get bison to call a wrapper function
that either calls yylex() or pops the next token off the list.

Well this would always work with what you have already. It might be a bit
slower. If you want a real speed increase, you would be better off compiling
the function into some form of byte-code, which could be run though without
needing to parse anything.

The O'Reilly Lex & Yacc book is well written and contains many tutorials.
