Sorry, after reading my message again, I feel the need to make it even
clearer that it was not intended to be negative. It was intended to set
the stage for you to explain why bake is so great!

Title:
  Add build instructions to README

Status in Simple Scan:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I was trying to compile the latest version of Simple Scan and failed.
  I am not that experienced, but the docu is not too great. There is a
  generic INSTALL file, but that's all.

  currently I did the following:
  bzr branch lp:simple-scan
  ./autogen.sh
  sudo apt-get install gnome-common
  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-dev-tools
  get-build-deps simple-scan
  ./autogen.sh

  At that step I fail with natty "No package 'gtk+-3.0' found".
  I also get the warning "configure: WARNING: no Vala compiler found. You will not be able to compile .vala source files."

  I think these commands should be completed with
  make
  and possibly: make install

  Is that correct? Does that work with oneric (or some other
  distribution) out of the box? Is it still possible to compile the
  latest Simple Scan on older Ubuntu releases? Could this information
  (possibly corrected/expanded) be put in the README/INSTALL file?

  Thanks!
