Sorry for not getting back, I could not get the package manager
(portage), to accept that I would build the package.
I ended up creating en ebuild file and manually inserted it into
the package repository, which is hackish, but it works.

I looked at your patches and they seem quite clean.
Sadly, my scanner still does not work, but I think that the reasons are
unrelated. I'm inserting some of the debug info below.
If it makes any difference, my scanner's light was on.

Thanks,
David
