I'd like to hold off inclusion for now.

Things to do still:
* clean up historic cruft
* figure out proper hp3400/4300 resolution and scan position setting
   (we have some work-arounds already)
* implement analog frontend calibration (currently used fixed setting)
* implement lamp timer to wait for warm-up before scan

Those last two issues frequently cause colored vertical lines
on the first scan.
