Really basic question -
how can I link or copy or install the new cvs backend so that the front-ends
can find it. Removing libsane package takes out all the graphics front-ends
because of dependencies.

Tried scanimage using the tpu and it works but I need to learn more.

Both Xsane and Kooka run ok using this, hence my question above. However,
Kooka crashes if I use the tpu.

Installed libgtk2-dev, completed make and checkinstall but have a problem
with iscan. However, if I can resolve my question above I'd be happy to use
scanimage/xsane or kooka and learn how to get them working properly.
