Ok. That's changed in the latest snapshot on
http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/snapshots/sane-backends-2003-05-03.tar.gz

There is also a fix for a problem with include/md5.h reported by
another MacOS X user.

Thanks. But the license is BSD + advertising clause so it's
incompatible to GPL.

Works for me. There is an alternative patch that is reported to work
by another MacOS user. But if your patch also works for him, I'll keep
yours. The difference to your first patch is that libsanei stays
before liblib.
