Integrate libsane and sane into Solaris [PSARC/2008/170 FastTrack timeout 03/11/2008]

[Lei Chen]

Hi PSARC,
      As you suggested, I have filed CR6672460 to address your concerns 
about libsane 64-bit support. I will work on it and deliver both of 
libusb and libsane 64-bit version in another integration. In this case, 
I'd like to focus on 32-bit libsane support.

Thanks,
Lei Chen
