sane-0.5 now available

OK, finally the switch to sane-0.5 has happened:

ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/sane/sane-0.5.tar.gz

If you don't have the latest GIMP installed and/or are running on an
8-bit display, you may also want to fetch gtk+-0.99.6-970328.tar.gz
from the same directory. This will allow running xscan and xcam
without GIMP (though I think it's much neater to run xscan through
GIMP).

This release has been tested on three Linux/Alpha and Linux/x86
machines running either Red Hat 4.0 or 4.1. It's supposed to build
and work under NetBSD as well (thanks to Gordon Matzigkeit!).

If you all could give it a shot and let me know how it works, I'd
appreciate it. Oh, I have yet to hear from any Mustek scanner owners.
Please do let me know which scanner you're using and whether there are
any problems with it (please list the SCSI id, the label on the front
of the scanner, and the SCSI card you're using). Please report this
info even if you think I ought to know already.

A word on future releases: IMHO, the pre0.5 releases were a bad idea.
>From now on, I'll make diffs available and make more frequent
releases. That should simplify things now that there are other people
working on the same sources (there are no diffs between -0.42 and -0.5
since the patch would have been almost as big as the entire
sources...).

Enjoy,
