[sane-devel] Error codes returned by Fujitsu fi-5900c?

[Wes Rishel]

Thanks. I never knew this existed. It's really great!

I have to use a modified fujitsu.so to add a patch that Allan gave us some
years ago.

I wonder if the API will pick up the modified .so as long as
LD_LIBRARY_PATH has the path?
