[Flow-tools] Cflow won't compile

[Scott B. Lowe]

I am trying to get the Cflow module included with flow-tools 0.68 (under 
contrib) to compile and I am recieving errors. I had to patch the 
flow-tools version 0.68 to get that to work. I am wondering if there is 
a work around or patch to get Cflow working. The make is what fails and 
this is the output:

Ant help would be greatly appreciated.
