The latest git + only your patch now compiles on the first try. However, 
the resulting DLL doesn't find the scanner. sane-find-scanner.exe finds 
the USB device, but scanimage.exe and my program that uses libsane.dll 
do not find the scanner.

I had a feeling it is looking for the config file to reference the USB 
vendor ID and product ID, but it cannot find it. I moved the *.conf 
files into the same directory as the runtime DLL and EXE files and now 
the scanner is found. Scanning works, too.

I would guess that between .21 and .22 that the config file handling 
changed? It would be nice to have the Windows binaries look for the 
config files in a few sub-directories besides the current directory. 
(./etc, ../etc ./)

Unfortunately this trick doesn't make the 64-bit DLL work. Something 
else is wrong.
