Won't we get trouble at least with shared libraries because currently
it's linked to the backend libraries and then to backends and frontends?

It's not only sanei_wire but also the debug functions. I just did some
changes (locally) to combine all necessary code in debug.c,
store_values.c (load_values, save_values) and wire.c (codec_ascii,
sanei_wire). codec_bin doesn't seem to be needed. Renaming everything
from sanei_w_* to wire_* or something like that works. It's a bigger
change (removing sanei/ completely and most of include/sane). At least
it works :-) I will look at this in more detail tomorrow and post a
patch.
I'm not sure, what's the better approach.
What's used in xsane?
Bye,
Henning
