[sane-devel] ENC: Panasonic high speed scanners

[m. allan noah]

Libusb is not available on all platforms where sane builds. So, no
other sane backends use libusb directly. Instead, they use our
sanei_usb wrapper library. This also protects you from the two
different versions of libusb.

Please download a git tree of our development version, and produce a
patch for the kvs1025 backend. I think you will find it pretty simple,
and there are lots of other backends to view for examples. Please
build the backend along with sane, and leave warnings enabled, so you
can see if any problems arise.
