I have grabbed this and followed the instructions about changing the 
SANE_LIBS_DIR and such.  I have a *so.1 in my sane libs directory.  If I 
use hwinfo I see the scanner info in the correct category under 
scanners. So the linux appears to be working correctly I just can't get 
sane to use the 5400backend.
