    Hi,

    I think the README file in the SANE distribution needs some updates. What do
    you think about these points:

    * platforms
      Is this up-to-date? At least the SANE website shows very old sane
      versions for some platforms. Is there an OS/2 version of SANE 1.0.2?
      Some people seem to have problems to compile sane for OS/2.

    * platform-specific information
      Add links to README.os2, README.unixware2, README.unixware7?

    * Additional links to manual pages:

      PNM image reader pseudo backend sane-pnm(5)
      
      Canon scanners no man-page---see doc/canon.README
      Abaton scanners sane-abaton(5)
      AGFA Focus scanners sane-agfafocus(5)
      Apple scanners sane-apple(5)
      Artec scanners sane-artec(5)
      Epson scanners sane-epson(5)
      Fujitsu scanners sane-fujitsu(5)
      Microtek + Agfa scanners sane-microtek(5)
      Mikrotek SCSI-2 scanners sane-microtek2(5)
      Sharp scanners sane-sharp(5)
      
    Add sane-scsi(5) to all of them? Are there additional scanners for which a
    backend provides support?

      Kodak DC20/DC25 Digital Cameras sane-dc25(5)
      Polaroid Digital Microscope Camera sane-dmc(5)
      
    Maybe "* Build" and "* Installation and Configuration" should
    be more highlighted because some people didn't find them. Or maybe a "quick
    install" with "configure;make;make install" at the beginning of the text?

    Ciao, Henning
