Hmm. I hadn't noticed the old date format, so my regexps didn't match any of
those lines.
However, your regexps match some lines incorrectly - for example:
        * archive_tar_file.cc: Include <algorithm>.
        * inilex.l: Recognise Build-Depends-Indep, [,], >, < and remove
        (filedef): Create == and < operators for STL use.
