Bugzilla Bug 68924

Running ufed 0.34, it parses the use.local.desc file incorrectly. I'm not sure
if this is an error with ufed (I believe it is) or if the last author of
use.local.desc made bad changes.  Specifically, the error can be seen on the
'Modelock" use flag.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Use ufed v. 0.34
run ufed
scroll down to the modelock flag.
observe.
Actual Results:  
The flag description is parsed as multiple new use flags, such as:
[ ] Modelock           Local Flag: Enable XKB ...
[ ] Need               it. (x11-wm/windowmaker)
[ ] you                dont know what it is you probably dont

Expected Results:  
Parsed it as one single string:
[ ] Modelock          Local Flag: ...

The modelock flag has a string in double quotes as part of the description. 
There are also some single quotes in the "don't" 's that may be messing it up.

Attached patch is against 0.35, which has the same problem. It can be applied
to 0.34 as well.

Nah, all descriptions are enclosed by ufed in double quote characters, so
single quote characters won't have any special effect. However, \ and $ do
cause problems. \ is not in any descriptions, but $ is (the description for icc
contains $CC).

0.35-r2 with the patch is in CVS now.
