 alongside RGB data and this is why you need my program tiffscan
 to read it. that's why the bakend is experimental and not
 suited for mainstream sane. I defined a new frame type,
 SANE_FRAME_RGBX for it.

 I did because the double frame solution was not well suited
 for my workflow. now I can have tiffscan toss tiff images directly
 into vuescan for infrared cleaning.
