[sane-devel] Setting backend capabilities

[Alexander Pevzner]

Hi,

user intervention (like > setting a switch) can set the value.
SOFT_SELECT means that option is software-settable. HARD_SELECT means 
that not. From the application perspective, the only important thing, if 
the option is read-write or read-only. Hence, I'd use SOFT_SELECT.

P.S. When in doubt, it's better to look how these options are 
interpreted by popular applications. I've looked to xsane sources, it 
ignores the HARD_SELECT flag at all.
