[sane-devel] custom SANE backend

[Mark DM]

I looked at test.conf and some docs and found nothing about initiating a
scan with a third party command. That is the goal here to use a third party
command, not a USB, parallel, nor network interface

There are two such examples of command line scanner utilities that could
benefit from something like this

http://bastel.dyndns.info/~public/s400w/
and
https://github.com/kno10/python-scan-eSCL

you load the command line with the options according to the commands needs
based on what is selected in the GUI.
