Oops, you're right. Not good to respond to mails before the first

I certainly would welcome such a Windows frontend for SANE, though
personally, I'm more excited about a Java frontend (yes, I like the
idea of controlling a camera via a web browser... ;-).

Either way: doing the frontend should not be that hard---it's not a
trivial project, but I'd hope that much of the logic could be taken
from gtkglue.c---everything else is pretty much trivial (assuming the
right "widgets" exist).
