I've commited changes of sanei_scsi.c sane sane-scsi.man to the CVS 
server. The default timeout value is now 120 seconds; can be changed by 
setting the environment variable SANE_SCSICMD_TIMEOUT.

I can test the stuff only on Linux, so it would be fine, if others could 
test, if I messed up the implementation for other OSes.

Can be interesting to select a very small value ;) With one second 
timeout, the Sharp backend segfaults. (Didn't fix that yet...)
