[sane-devel] Technical infos about reverse engineering

[Julien TIERNY]

Thanx for your tricks !

I think I can see more clearly the method I will follow...

I will keep you inform of my experiments if they are interesting.

Maybe it could be a good point to write a SANE "official" how-to about the 
reverse engineering and the list of features that a backend must implement.
What do you think of this ?
