Hi Spiro,

>From the spec file for the upcoming release:

| Image Scan! is a graphical scanner utility for people that do not need
| all the bells and whistles provided by several of the other utilities
| out there (xsane, QuiteInsane, Kooka).
|
| At the moment it only supports SEIKO EPSON scanners and all-in-ones.
| However, the scanner driver it provides can be used by any other SANE
| standard compliant scanner utility.

Gentoo?  I've never tried but as long as you are on i386 you should be
mostly okay with the tarball.

Hope that helps,
