Local Packages
New package flex-new, which is flex 2.5.33; this is a new version of flex that is not fully backwards-compatible with flex 2.5.4 (as shipped even in Fedora Core 6), so I've made this package parallel-installable with flex and using it requires manual specification of flex-new as the lexer, use of /usr/include/flex-new as a header search directory for the compiler, and use of /usr/lib(64)?/flex-new as a library search directory for the linker; flex-new is needed for xxdiff 3.2
Updated xxdiff to 3.2, which is a significant rewrite of the package; I've split off the python scripts into a tools subpackage, and due to the code being written for python 2.4, some of those tools won't work on older distributions. I suspect the fixes for this are pretty easy for someone who knows python.
