[sane-devel] [janitorial] Code Freeze for 1.0.29 heads up

[m. allan noah]

I noticed that it is not possible to build sane-backends without
libtiff installed, because hp3900 backend requires it, but configure
does not check for it. This patch seems to fix:

diff --git a/acinclude.m4 b/acinclude.m4

     if test "${sane_cv_use_libjpeg}" != "yes" || test
"${sane_cv_use_libtiff}" != "yes"; then
       echo "*** $be backend requires JPEG and TIFF library - $DISABLE_MSG"
