That surprises me a bit. Reading the config-log, I'd think 1.3.23 was the
minimum version:
configure:8004: checking for GIMP - version >= 1.3.23
configure:8166: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE conftest.c -lm
>&5
conftest.c:10:1: warning: "PACKAGE_VERSION" redefined
conftest.c:5:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
In file included from conftest.c:53:
<and some more compile/parse errors>
On the other hand, the SANE-API is sufficiently well designed to be able to
use the older frontends(1.0.9) with the new backends (1.0.13) without
recompiling the oldones.

From:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2003-June/008196.html
and some mails on the 0.80-version I understand that the problem has been
there before.
