Hi, Henning.  I take it sane_start is the correct place to check for
this, right?  What is the correct response?  Perhaps it should return
SANE_STATUS_INVAL, but the SANE standard doesn't list this as a possibility.
Another option, which is what I did in the hpoj backend, would be for the
backend to keep shadow copies of the "effective" values for these options
and swap the top and bottom values for X and Y if necessary.
