humm -- well i don't see any BE.conf (or sane-BE.man) [and did
ignore the case as well] in sane-backends-master-e13b80fa but
gnu grepping around i did find a bunch of *.conf files with
option entries.  the general syntax seems to be

      'option' <whitespace> 'argument_name_or_id' <whitespace> 'argument_value'

but i'll peruse these to see if there is a usb example i can
use to confirm things.


following up from yesterday it seems the sun sol10 sparc std c lib
does the right thing with strncmp but why isn't the sanei_configure_attach
function entering the inner while loop (around line 305 or so)

           /* search for a matching descriptor */
           i = 0;
           found = SANE_FALSE;
           while (config!=NULL && i < config->count && !found)

something is still a-miss somewhere but i'm not seeing it yet.
