suggestions:
- compile the viceo library in C instead of C++. You'll have to change
  little code. That's about 2 hours work.
- convert the // comments (http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq8_4.html
  might help)
- call DBG_INIT() before DBG()
- remove the hardcoded path to the scanner
- may be move the viceo files to their own directory
- indent -gnu the viceo files
- add the GNU license to *your* own files
- port it to sane 1.0.7, which has a better usb support than 1.0.5.
- reply to people' e-mails before complaining that manufacturers don't
  answer yours.

That will make the code more presentable.
