Ok, I'll update PROJECTS in CVS.

Well, if the .desc actually included the scanners, it would make sense
to add it to CVS :-)

If possible, please try to use sanei_usb. I had only a quick look at
the kernel patch: are these READ/WRITE_REGISTER in kernel really

control messages? The IOCTL_GET_VERSION may still be a problem,
though.
