SANE backend for AirScan (eSCL) and WSD document scanner
Similar to how most modern network printers support "driverless" printing,
using the universal vendor-neutral printing protocol, many modern network
scanners and MFPs support "driverless" scanning.
Driverless scanning comes in two flavors:
* Apple AirScan or AirPrint scanning (official protocol name is eSCL)
* Microsoft WSD, or WS-Scan (term WSD means "Web Services for Devices)
This backend implements both protocols, choosing automatically between them.
It was successfully tested with many devices from Brother, Canon, Dell,
Kyocera, Lexmark, Epson, HP, OKI, Panasonic, Pantum, Ricoh, Samsung and
Xerox both in WSD and eSCL modes.
To make the automatic discovery work, you need to have avahi-daemon running.
Make sure that
avahi_daemon_enable="YES"
is in /etc/rc.conf(.local), and start the avahi-daemon service. Some other
program, such as Firefox, may also bind to the mDNS port (5353), so make sure
that avahi-daemon can bind to the port.
To quickly check if your scanner can be discovered, run
avahi-browse -r _uscan._tcp
You should see your scanner listed in the result.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
