That's a good idea. So we change SANE_SCSICMD_TIMEOUT to a static
variable (e.g. sane_scsicmd_timeout) throughout the code that is
initialized by 60. If variable SANE_SG_TIMEOUT is set,
sane_scsicmd_timeout is changed appropriately, e.g. in
sanei_scsi_open. 

Can you do that? You are a lot more familiar with the SCSI code :-)

Bye,
