I've done limited porting of SANE to native Win32 (using MinGW). Only
a few parts are functional in that case - libsane itself, dll and net
backend, however. This native Win32 SANE version is working in
production for several months in conjunction with native Win32 port of
Xsane. If that is all what you need and nobody disagrees I could
commit all the necessary SANE changes.
