[master]: New upstream version.

* internationalization: added support for various languages. Fix make
  install target to not fail when the flex++ program is already
  installed. various portability fixes that quiet compiler warnings on
  64-bit hosts. numerous bug fixes.
* Moved to a new dh based build system. Also moved to a 3.0 source
  format, using debcherry.
* Bug fix: "cross build support", thanks to Eleanor Chen. We have moved
  to a standard dh based build, so we should not have this issue any more.
  (Closes:    #719955).
* Bug fix: "examples not included into binary packages", thanks to Carl
  Fürstenberg. Examples are in this version.  (Closes: #560387).
* Bug fix: "new upstream release 2.5.37", thanks to Peter Eisentraut
  (Closes: #729759).
* Bug fix: "flex, new release available for download", thanks to
  Gianfranco Costamagna (Closes: #736345).
* Bug fix: "please mark flex as Multi-Arch: allowed", thanks to Steve
  Langasek. Redid the patch to work with dh.     (Closes: #611230).
* Updating to a new build system means that the changes made to the
  build system in the NMU are not needed, dh does the right thing.
* The new upstream release added the prototypes in re-entrant mode, so
  we are no longer carrying those patches.

+Title: flex
+Author: various
+Abstract: Fast LEXical analyzer generator
+ Flex is a tool for generating programs that perform pattern-matching on 
+ text.  It generates "scanners": programs which recognized lexical
+ patterns in text.  `flex' reads the given input files, or its
+ standard input if no file names are given, for a description of a
+ scanner to generate.  The description is in the form of pairs of
+ regular expressions and C code, called "rules". `flex' generates as
+ output a C source file, `lex.yy.c', which defines a routine
+ `yylex()'.  This file is compiled and linked with the `-lfl' library
+ to produce an executable.  When the executable is run, it analyzes
+ its input for occurrences of the regular expressions. Whenever it
+ finds one, it executes the corresponding C code.
