Survex 1.1.8 development snapshot uploaded

[Carlos "Guâno" Grohmann]

OK. I've never heard about debuild before. I liked it.

So, in the end of the process, it gives me this:

dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${misc:Depends}

but it creates the .deb. I installed it with dpkg, but if I try to run
aven, I get a windows with this error msg:

Can't open message file `en_US' using path `${prefix}/share/survex'
