  Hi,

  I just committed some changes to doc/makefile.in to CVS. Documentation
  in sane-backends/ (README(.os), LICEMSE, etc.) and files in
  sane-backends/doc (backend-writing.txt, umax/*, etc.) is now installed
  in $docdir. Users can now access this documenation even if he has no
  access to the source.

  The idea was to also install the sane standard if latex is available
  but I run into the following problem: on some systems an old version
  of latex (maybe 2.09?) is installed that can't translate sane.tex. The
  problem is that latex doesn't exit with an error code but asks for
  user input at the console. Has anyone an idea how to detect if a
  working version of latex is available?

  Another problem: I can't get emacs to generate the sane-backends.html
  web page neither manually (emacs -l tools/sane-desc.el, then M-x
  sane-desc-regenerate-backend-page) nor with make sane-backends-html in
  doc/. The error is:

  Parsing /usr/src/sane/sane-backends/backend/abaton.desc
  Symbol's value as variable is void: :backend

  It works with xemacs, howver. Any ideas?

  Bye,
  Henning
