Dear sane-developers.

I suggest the following patch to help sys-admins and package
maintainers to use sane with the hpoj backend.

I just read that code-freeze for 1.0.9 is today, so in lack of time
before code-freeze I have not been able to test the patch, but as the
change is only comments, it shouldn't be able to destroy anything.

If somebody is a autoconf-guru consider the following change to scripts:
To make configure to take an argument '--with-hpoj' that will uncomment
the hpoj backend line. This may help package creators even more.

Further I suggest the SANE website maintainer to update the
http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends.html
to reflect the changes (to man-pages) announced by David Paschal in
August, i.e. the existence of hpoj and recomend hpoj backend (opposed
to hp backend) for certain HP multifunction devices, but that might
already be planned with the release of 1.0.9.
