Thank you.... now I think I understand. SANE doesn't use "Remote Procedure
Calls", saned listens for packets on a socket and processes them... its just
a socketed IPC. Ok, is the packet format(s) documented somewhere?

I don't want to have to port a huge portion of SANE just to get the network
stuff working. If I have to do a partial port, does anyone know which pieces
I would need to do network communication only. I certainly wouldn't be
porting any of the scanners, just the network stuff.

saned.c
sanei_wire.c
sanei_net.c
and probably several other files that are needed by these.

Again, I'd rather just do what I need from scratch. A C++ lib that handles
SANE networking only support would be far more useful for me than anything
else.
