Hi,

sane-backends 1.0.20 removed SANE_CAP_ALWAYS_SETTABLE, because "is _not_ part of the current
stable API."

 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.scanning.sane.devel/15345

 http://git.debian.org/?p=sane/sane-backends.git;a=commit;h=e91fea4ac1ced39c911db91489c7069784bea037

The right thing to do is probably to drop it from libsane-perl too,
testing for it with #ifdefs seems overkill to me.
