[sane-devel] Proposed patch for scanimage in sane-backends-1.0.22

[Pete Lancashire]

Does the backend for your scanner have a wait for button option ?

Thats what I use, just wish my scanner had a jack on the back that let
me plug in
a foot switch. I'm marking off the days till the resellers warranty
runs out so I can
add one myself.
