Does anybody have any objections to the changing saned.c? The systemd
changes do allow for all debugging output (backend debugging for example) 
to be captured by systemd, so I believe that they the changes could be 
quite useful. They are completely backward compatible (even on a systemd 
based system we do not need to use them if we do specify StdInput to be
the inetd style socket. 

I now found a machine that has an older automake 1.11 that did allow me
to regenerate the Makefile.in files. I ran autoconf, automake and
autoheader. That did regenerate all Makefile.in files. Should I check
them all in into git? Or should I only check-in 
frontend/Makefile.in, include/sane/config.h.in and saned.c?
