[sane-devel] Using the resource manager library...

[Gerhard Jaeger]

Hi,

it is a compile time option and as I stated earlier, it's fail safe that kind,
that if I stop the resource-manager, the scanner is still accessible, even
if the open call (to the res mgr) fails, the "standard" open will be called...

I'll wait for a couple of days now, then I'll check it in, so everybody is 
able to check this...

Ciao,
  Gerhard
