Bug#696899: can anybody sponsor an ITP for premake4 ?

Thanks! Experimental makes sense given how close Wheezy must be to being done. I wouldn't hold your breath on 4.4, it's an active project but not a terribly fast moving one. Also most of the development effort has moved onto a bit of a rewrite that will probably become 4.5 or 5. That said I've noticed a few projects using the 4.4 beta in the wild, so it may be worth updating to that if that's what people want to use.

Looks good — I've uploaded, with a single change that I missed right from the
start, changing the suite from unstable to experimental. Sorry but I don't want
to upset the RMs this late in the release cycle. But it still needs to navigate
NEW anyway and hopefully once that's done a re-up to unstable will be swift (or
perhaps 4.4 will be out by then)
