[sane-devel] Preparation of the next release of sane-backends

[Fred Odendaal]

Henning,

The next Lexmark backend patch will be available this weekend 
(Thanksgiving weekend in Canada). It'll just be a code clean-up and man 
page creation as per the points mentioned on this mail list. I'll start 
bug fixes and feature additions after that.

I'll post to this mail list when the patch is available. Thanks to all 
those who have done testing and code review so far.

regards,
Fred Odendaal
