There was a major rewrite of the SnapScan back-end between 0.8 and 1.0, and
the author abandoned the work a few percent from the end. This would
explain a number of issues people may be having when they say Sane 1.0.1
worked, but later versions do not. The author not only did not finish, he
also did not possess all models of scanner to try his new code on. Most
people aren't very good at feeding back useful bug reports, so......
