[sane-devel] improve HP scanner support information

[m. allan noah]

we have such a link:

http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-external.html#S-HPAIO

If the hplip guys would make a .desc file for their backend, we would
put it in our site, and it would show up in the search engine. The
Epkowa guys do this. Perhaps you could ask hplip...
