[sane-devel] Nikon LS50

[Ariel Garcia]

Hi,

here is the patch for adding support for the Nikon LS50/LS5000.
It applies on top of the backends/coolscan2.c  file of  sane-1.0.16

I also uploaded a precompiled library to
    http://cvs.fzk.de/~ariel/linux/libsane-coolscan2.so.1.0.16
it is only one file which you could use to replace the one in
    /usr/lib/sane/libsane-coolscan2.so.1.0.16
No warranties that this will work, but you can try if you want to avoid 
patching and compiling sane.

This patch worked for me and should in principle enable for the LS50/5000 
exactly the same functionality that the older LS40/4000 scanners have in 
Sane.    I tested it only with "scanimage", because kooka and xscanimage 
were not behaving correctly (although that has nothing to do with LS50 
support), and getting the right exposure with scanimage seems to be 
tricky. Also, it seemed to me that the scans i made were not correctly in 
focus, but that could be some other issue.

Testers welcome! :-)

Cheers, Ariel
