Bug#690375: fails to recognize Boost Software License

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.12.4
User: devscripts at packages.debian.org
Usertags: licensecheck

licensecheck thinks files including Boost Software License are generated 
files:

$ licensecheck testcase.h
testcase.h: GENERATED FILE


Looking at the code, there are two problems:
- Regexp for detecting generated files should be either tightened or the 
check should be moved _after_ the check for BSL.
- Regexp for detecting BSL should not contain quotes, as they are 
stripped from $licensetext earlier.
