[sane-devel] SANE2 plans: RFC

[Major A]

How do you expect that to work? Maybe it's OK when you use dynamic
loading, but it will break static building for sure.

It wouldn't do now for the reason just mentioned, but I think your
idea is worth considering for SANE2 so that the transition to SANE3
will be smoother...
