Henning; A reminder about RH and changing from tars to rpms

I don't mean to be 'out of line' here, but please don't forget that 
redhat does not use /usr/local for the default path, they use '/', 
so he probably now has 2 'etc/sane.d' directories, making it at 
least twice as hard to convert to using tars.  I tried the 
--relocate-whatever on a recent rpm install, but I still wound up 
with a new /etc/sane.d directory and a non-functioning install.  I 
guess that only works if one is building from the source rpm.
