No, it _should_ work fine with the BT controller, but I don't know
that for a fact (if anybody does use a Mustek scanner with such a
controller, let me know). But even so you might be better off getting
a second SCSI controller since the Mustek scanners will block the SCSI
bus while a scan is in progress. Please let me know if you have
suggestions to clarify the mustek.README file.

My main development machine is a Linux/Alpha box which is glibc based
(aka, libc 6.0). The header files are slightly different and that's
probably what's causing the problem. Try adding "#include <sys/types.h>"
at the top of preview.h and let me know whether that fixes the compilation
problem.
