Here's a first shot at this extension:
http://codereview.appspot.com/2823041/

I added sanei_usb_*_extended functions, whenever an endpoint is used in the 
code. If the endpoint argument is -1, then the auto-detected endpoints are 
used (first found is taken, all others are ignored, just like things worked so 
far).

I'm not sure if we should add an (optional) pointer to (bulk|int|...)-(in|out) 
endpoints to the sanei_usb_open function to make it possible to override the 
default in/out endpoints...?

What do you think?

With this patch, the magicolor backend works fine for USB-connections (two 
bulk-in endpoints, where the second needs to be used)...

Cheers,
Reinhold

PS: Why are the files in sanei/sanei* and include/sane/sanei_*.h not installed 
and rather directly linked to by the backends? The problem with this approach 
is that any backend outside the sane-backends tree needs to copy those files 
over and keep them up to date from sane-backends.
