Indeed.

Skipping the mini-saga of getting it downloaded . . . I installed the
December update this morning.  And, lo and behold, sane builds and
installs.  Thanks.

While I'm here . . .the reason I've been building sane is to do with the
"less than perfect" support for OSX from scanner manufacturers. 
Searching back through the mailing list archives I saw some comments
agreeing with that, but nothing much more.  I have sitting next to me an
Epson USB scanner (Perfection 610) beloning to my in-laws.  Having had
zero luck with the official Epson driver I'm turning to sane (which I
also use on my linux box).  However, not being the most technically
minded, what my Mother-in-law really wants is to be able to drive the
scanner from inside iPhoto.  Has anyone done work on a sane frontend to
plug in as a normal OSX scanner input? Given no SANE->TWAIN bridge 
around on OSX I suspect not, or not very far.  But if you don't ask . .
.:-)
