CC Mode 5.28 (C++); "case" syntax hilights wrong

[Wesley J. Landaker]

When "case" is put in a string, it syntax hilights incorrectly.

int main() {
  const char *s = "case";
}

The closing quote (and anything else you put after it before the
semicolon) will be RED. If the word is anything but "case" this
doesn't happen (i.e. it doesn't do it for other keywords like "for",
"while", "do", etc as far as I can tell).

This bug is known, and has been fixed in the not-yet-released
cc-mode-5.30.

If you want to get cc-mode-5.30 (it's good stuff!), enter the following
two commands whilst online:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.cc-mode.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cc-mode login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.cc-mode.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cc-mode checkout cc-mode

Simply give <CR> as the response to the password prompt.  This will
download the CVS archive to the current directory.
