It doesn't reliably on NetBSD-5 or -current; namely, it makes flex
spit out a "Broken pipe" when presented with an input file on stdin.

There are better ways to fix it properly, which will be employed
in Due Time.
* fixed bug that prevented flex from accepting certain comments in the
scanner file (resolves bugs #1849809 and #1849805)
* fix bug that prevented headers for all functions from being generated
(resolves bug #1628314)
* change yy_size_t to be size_t (resolves bug #1849812)
* new de, nl, pl, pt_br, vi translations from the translation project
