Oh, I missed that one when using the testdrive.

Not too bad.

They seem to have added a webcam but I didn't have a look at it.

As SANE 1.0.9 is in Debian sid, we can assume that it compiles on all
the Linux platforms Debina supports: Alpha, ARM, HP PA-RISC, Intel x86,
Intel IA-64, Motorola 680x0, MIPS, MIPS (DEC), PowerPC, IBM S/390,
SPARC.

However, there is still a bug report about SCSI on Linux/SPARC in the
TODO list.

Oh. That's because of sanei_scsi.c? We should add a hint in
README.linux.

Well, if I remeber correctly, my 16 MB computer wen about 40 MB into
swap when compiling SANE :-).
