Assuming you've read the SANE API docs already (available at
http://www.mostang.com/sane/), it's generally easiest to start with an
existing backend that's reasonably close to what you need. The
mustek, umax, snapscan, coolscan, tamarack all look fairly full
featured (though I have only seen the Mustek backend in action), so
anyone of those should do.
