Documentation bugs, in PROBLEMS

s/saftey-guard/safety-guard/

The name "xscan" is used once where presumably "xscanimage" is meant

in backend/*.desc

The status line for some backends should be changed, since I understand
it's supposed to reflect their status relative to the release. This
means that HP and agfafocus are no longer "New", but some of those
currently marked "alpha", will be new to release 1.01 (they weren't in
1.00), so they *should* be marked "New" in their descriptions.

Some useless statistics...

Indescriminate use of grep tells me that 1.01 will support ~50 more models
of scanner than 1.00 (!) And jwz finally got it working, so Scanner
Access really is Now Easy :)
