I swear I'm not harrassing you. :) Once we can get these minor things
taken care of, the patch looks ready to me.
The error should be indented two columns within the 'if'. Here's what
I see in most every other use of 'error' in the grammar section of the
file.
if (new_type == NULL)
error ("No type \"%s\" within class or namespace \"%s\".",
ncopy, TYPE_NAME (type));

Right you are.

This code block looks fine to me in your latest patch.
The only other point left is the ChangeLog entry. The one you posted
was:
2008-01-17 Rob Quill <rob.quill@gmail.com>
* c-exp.y : Add $in_scope as a type of expression.
This needs a little rearrangement, and a bit more detail. A model to
follow might be:
2008-01-07 Vladimir Prus <vladimir@codesourcery.com>
Ignore change in name of dynamic linker during
execution on Solaris. This also unbreaks pending breakpoints.
* solist.h (struct target_so_ops): New field same.
* solib-svr4.c (svr4_same): New.
(_initialize_svr4_solib): Register svr4_same.
* solib.c (update_solib_list): Use ops->same, if available.
If the change merits it, it's nice to have a (brief) summary sentence
at the top (substantial explanation belongs in comments in the code).
Your "Add $in_scope ..." might go there. Then, each change is
attributed to a particular function, top-level declaration, or
whatever grouping makes sense (in documentation, we put the section
name in the parens).
So your ChangeLog entry would need to mention IN_SCOPE as a new token
you're defining, 'exp' (I guess) as the non-terminal symbol to which
you're adding a grammar rule, and 'yylex' as the function to which
you're adding a bit of code.

Add $in_scope as a type of expression.
* c-exp.y (IN_SCOPE): ...
(exp): ...
(yylex): ...
