Not great TBH but I'm learning.
Looking into autoconf, it feels like I need a book of spells rather than
documentation to properly configure it. :P

Perhaps after we have a functioning xsane build we could have a splurge on
killing sane-config for good.I find its existence confusing, especially in
distros that have a sane-config manpage but no actual sane-config.
I'm happy to have a look at the sane frontend build with my new found autoconf
foo.
