  If anyone's interested, I have successfully compiled xscanimage and
  scanimage using cygwin32. Of course I
  only bothered with the net backend (pnm works too and a lot of the other
  stuff compiled but I didn't test
  it) and you'll need an X Server for xscanimage (not too sure what the
  advantage of this is over exporting your DISPLAY, except that the file
  writes are local). I also ported xscanimage to mingw32 using winsock and
  gtkwin32 to give a real native Windows client. The only bit that doesn't
  work this way is non-blocking IO.

  The reason I did this was so that I could control the scanner connected
  to my Linux box in the upstairs back bedroom from the Win98 laptop in my
  lounge. It works very well apart from the fact that I have to go
  upstairs
  to change the photographs. Now if I could just train the cat....
