r227 build fails on wheezy, precise, saucy

[Google Code Exporter]

On Debian stable (wheezy) and Ubuntu Precise (12.04) and Ubuntu Saucy (13.10), 
the build fails with the following:

bison -d -t -v regex.y
regex.y:194.36-76: syntax error, unexpected {...}
make[1]: *** [regex.tab.h] Error 1

https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=wheezy&keywords=bison and 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bison says those distros have Bison 
versions as low as 2.5.

Should be fixed in r228
