include: speed up compat header generation Recent additions to xlat.lst have apparently resulted in Python's garbage collection getting in the way: I would guess that so far it managed to re-use previously compiled regular expressions, but with the higher number of them now can't anymore (at least with default settings). Do the compilation explicitly. While at it, combine the two lists, and avoid using re.subn() when re.sub() suffices.
