That would be nice... who is the right person to talk about this
problem. I've avoided to raise a PR on this as I am not familiar with
the circumstances why we are still using flex-2.5.4 and not
flex-2.5.4a, there surely must be a reason for it.

It is at them moment, as I am working from the kdevelop cvs tree...
and the tarball is at it's current state...

This will be changed as soon as a newer version of KDevelop is
available as a tarbaall from the home ftp site.

Meanwhile, I just want to make sure that I am on the right track...
;-)
