Author Bug#320283: ITO: re2c

The spamassassin just uploaded to unstable has a new feature for
compiling rulesets to native code which apparently results in a large
performance boost[0]. The sa-compile(1p) man page states that re2c
version 0.10.x is required for this functionality, and only an orphaned
0.9.x is available in Debian. I intend to adopt re2c and upload the
latest upstream version (0.12.1).

Whoops, looks like I missed that dependency on re2c >= 0.10.0 for
spamassassin, but I think it's working fine with 0.9.x. (At least, I
haven't found a problem with it.)

I'd be happy to co-maintain the package if you would like a
co-maintainer. (Though I'm not going to have much time for Debian in
the next couple of weeks.)
