[Pkg-opencl-devel] Bug#829747: khronos-opencl-headers: New upstream release for the OpenCL C++ headers

Dear Maintainer,

Version 2.0.9 of the OpenCL C++ headers was tagged on the new upstream
repository hosted on Github [1]. I don't know whether the current SVN 
version
available on Stretch/Sid is ahead or behind, but the upstream developers of
ArrayFire reported that this version was too ancient to compile clSPARSE [2]
(which I ITP'd) which will soon become a build dependency for ArrayFire.

They also mention that the following fix [3] would have to be cherry-picked,
unless upstream can convinced to do a new upstream release.

[1] https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-CLHPP/releases
[2] https://github.com/clMathLibraries/clSPARSE/issues/162
[3] 
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-CLHPP/commit/befe77b66fd3dd87ce9fef940e475cdc71d8bd9f

Could you guys have a look? I am also happy to help the team if need be.

Cheers,
Ghis
