The original source contains ^M, they are intact in the shar archive but
probably got corrupted by send-pr.
I've attached a uuencoded version of the shar archive.

I can't get it to compile on FreeBSD < 6.0, even using GCC 3.4.4.
The code quality of this library is quite bad so I guess it will
require even more patching to fix it.

Well, maybe. But this is the de-facto version people are using and it's
acctually the official version + alot of bugfixes only.
Even companies providing BSP modules (Biometric Service Providers, ie
biometric backends) are recommending the use of this version.
Hopefully the BioAPI Consortium will release a better 2.0 version soon.
