[sane-devel] Avision Status

Sounds like a pretty good list of fixes. You might find that using -1
for image length causes problems for some frontends. I would pad the
image to the requested size, unless the user sets some option that
they want the image cropped. the fujitsu backend uses the --ald option
for this.
