Hmm - if someone wants to do this, the CYWIN Library might be a good point
to start out from.

YES - This would be _very_ nice to have. If you have experience in that
field, please do so.

Well - the only one that _has been implemented_.

saned and the net dll are _examples_ and the "native" protocol of how to
route SANE data through a network.

It the RPC mechanism causes much trouble on the WIN side, you can always
write something like a winsaned.

At worst, we'd need a single machine (kind of a proxy) running such a
winsaned on the net that can be asked to connect to any other server
via saned :-).
