We can only create the udev rules file when we're not cross-compiling,
so allow people to disable updating the file when building from
tarballs.
If you run with --enable-udev-rules=no and the
60-fprint-autosuspend.rules doesn't exist, you're on your own.
Instead of hardcoding whatever the new fashion is every few months, which might
even differ between distributions, just put the rules where udev says we should.

When imaging support is required, we prefer to use gdk-pixbuf,
as it's already on things like Live CDs.
Also fix the examples building against the system libfprint.
Add timeout mechanism as an asynchronous equivalent of sleeping (uru4000
needs this).
Start implementing polling infrastructure which also accounts for pending
timeouts. We don't expose file descriptors yet, but this is a start.
After lot 713, Microsoft fingerprint readers changed. The new version
comes with a new USB product ID and a challenge-response authentication
scheme where the device challenges the authenticity of the driver.
An independent third party produced documentation on the computations
needed to convert a challenge into the correct response, and I then used
this documentation to produce a clean-room reimplementation of the
authentication scheme.
mindtct appears to completely ignore the pixels-per-mm input parameter
(ippmm). When processing AES4000 images, the binarized image is
completely mangled and a lot of ridge information is lost.
Resizing the AES4000's small images results in a huge imaging performance
gain.
We use imagemagick for the resizing, as it's resizing code resamples the
image too (smoothing it out), which further improves performance.
