gimp deskew plugin v1.1 released

Hi,

I've just released a maintenance update to Karl Chen's old plugin called 'Deskew'. The plugin is originally intended to fix skewed scanned documents and relies on 3rd party code to do so. It has no options whatsoever and just does the job.

The updates to Karl's code have been sitting in my private Git repo for a while, but this was really silly, so here it is.

Changes in v1.1:

- Deskew has been relocated to 'Layer -> Transform' menu - Newer plugin template code
- Support for more recent versions of automake - A few i18n fixes
- The code fixed to use GIMP 2.8 API - The build system fixed to properly install the plugin's executable file on Linux

Steve Lessard provided a fix for the build system, and Michael Natterer provided a few actionable advises on API and installation. Thanks!

Source code downloads are here:

https://github.com/gimp-plugins-justice/gimp-deskew-plugin/releases/tag/v1.1

Note that I'm not qualified to make public builds for Windows and Linux, and I don't even have an access to a Mac system. Building from source code on Linux works for me. If a reputable community member provides any builds, I'll happily publish them. Please also note that I'm not (yet?) qualified to make any substantial changes to the code, so feature requests are pretty much lost on me :)

Cool! I have spent a LOT of hours doing just that thing. It will be interesting to see if Deskew is an improvement over using the Perspective tool in corrective mode.
