Currently the biggest problem is the lack of SCSI scanner support for
all the scanner drivers. I am working on this now (patch to sanei) so
that won't be such a big deal. There are also some functions that the
scanner drivers use (usleep, for example) that are highly system
specific and need to be defined or ifdef'd to the appropriate SGI (or
other UNIX) calls...
