Python 3.7 / Cython 28.5 build fails

[tronje]

I'm trying to build this with Python 3.7 and Cython 28.5. python setup.py install gives several compilation errors related to the new Python 3.7 C-API. I understand that I seem to need to run the update_cpp.sh script. This gives me a Cython compilation error, which is fixed by the below patch. Re-generating the C++ files then works, and so does installing the package. I'm hesitant to open a pull request because a) there are enormous changes to the checked-in C++ files, and b) I'm not sure if my change is a very good idea. I'm not too familiar with Cython, unfortunately. Maybe someone can help me out.

The aforementioned patch:

diff --git a/src/dawg.pyx b/src/dawg.pyx

I think I'm having the same issues. Fix would be appreciated!

I confirm that the above fix works with Python 3.7.3 and Cython 0.29.13.
