Standard C++ compatibility for flex++

I encountered some problems when using flex to generate C++ scanners, since
the header file 'FlexLexer.h' includes <iostream.h> which is not standard
conforming. Also the YY_DECL macro doesn't work in C++ mode, since virtual
methods can't be overloaded by methods with a different signature. (At least
if not fixed, this deficincy should be documented).
There are some other small problems ..

Is there any chance for a new release of flex? Is there a maintainer right now?
Is it possible to submit some bug-fixes or to contribute in some way?
