I got no reply to my last email, and have not received anything for
months. As far as I know, the major change required is to add some
fork / thread API to sanei, which would work both on Unix and OS/2.

He made some patches, but I did not like them and did not include them
in CVS. Too many #ifdef in the backends themselves. I want the
backends to use the same API on all platforms, and keep all the
#ifdefs in sanei/.

Apart from this, I believe everything else required to compile SANE on
OS/2 should be included.
