[sane-devel] Support for Kodak ScanMate i1150

[m. allan noah]

The smaller kodak scanners historically were built by Avision. It is
possible yours was too. We do have an Avision backend, which is worth
investigating. Either way, you will need to get a USB trace of the scanner
in action on a windows machine using Wireshark, to reverse engineer the
protocol.
