upekts: communication handling and enrollment implementation This completes an enrollment implementation for the upekts driver. It's based on code from libthinkfinger, but as there seemed to be many unknown details there, I spent some time analysing the bus messages in more detail and have effectively rewritten almost all of the borrowed code. Note that libthinkfinger is GPL licensed, so that reflects on this code too. At release time I will ask them if they are OK for me to relicense it.

libfprint was originally developed as part of an academic project at the
University of Manchester with the aim of hiding differences between different
consumer fingerprint scanners and providing a single uniform API to application
developers. The ultimate goal of the fprint project is to make fingerprint
scanners widely and easily usable under common Linux environments.

At release time, I will contact libthinkfinger authors and see if they will
be happy to relicense. I expect they will.
Add bozorth3 from NBIS; implement verify for image devices uru4000 works splendiferously (YAY!) aes4000 is going to need some work though :(

libfprint includes code from NIST's NBIS software distribution:
http://fingerprint.nist.gov/NBIS/index.html
We include bozorth3 from the US export controlled distribution. We have
determined that it is fine to ship bozorth3 in an open source project,
