Don't understand this! Plustek-sane is part of the package since SANE-1.0.3!!
0.45-3 is checked in into 1.0.10-pre3. My download page is only for somebody
who:
- uses a Plustek parallelport scanner
- uses an older SANE package and wants to update the Plustek backend
- wants to use the latest patches

Thanks for that, I'll check it!
