     Hello,

     I have starting to review the backend's code. The bug tracker has 
all the details, but there are a couple of things that are worth 
discussing here.

     First sane/sanei_ir.h is used. I don't find it in the pieusb 
branch, and this is not part of current SANE's sources. Where does it 
come from ?

     Second, mmap is used. Are we sure it is available on all the 
platforms where SANE is compiled ?

Regards,
     Stef
