broken link in html document of xsane

Hi,

In xsane-0.992/doc/sane-backends-doc.html links for the
other 
htmls are represented in static urls like(new lines are
inserted
by me):

    <li><font color="#000000">
    <a
href="/usr/local/share/sane/sane-abaton-doc.html"&
gt;sane-abaton</a>
    </font></li>
    <li><font color="#000000">
    <a
href="/usr/local/share/sane/sane-agfafocus-doc.html&quo
t;>sane-agfafocus</a>
    </font></li>
    <li><font color="#000000">
    <a
href="/usr/local/share/sane/sane-apple-doc.html"&g
t;sane-apple</a>
    </font></li>

I'm using Fedora Core 5. These htmls don't exist at
/usr/local/share.
Even at /usr/share/doc/sane-backends-1.0.18, sane-*-doc
files don't exist.
I could find only
/usr/share/doc/sane-backends-1.0.18/umax/sane-umax-doc.html
Any way link is broken.

I wonder who provide who provides sane-*-doc.html files,
where these files
are installed and how xsane knows the installation path.
Could you help me?

Hi,

So this is the good chance to change the situation, isn't
it?

Could you tell me more?

As far as reading sane-backends/doc/Makefile.in, following
patch for
backends/docs/Makefile.in satisfies you:
