  the sanei routines are not part of the sane api. There also is no library
  libsanei or something like that.
  If a backend wants to compile separately from the sane package it has to
  come with the sanei_*.c and sanei_*.h files if it likes to use sanei-routines.

  A backend that compiles separatley from the sane package also should not
  assume that sane.h and saneopts.h is installed on the system. It should compile
  on a SANE-free system.
  But such backends should be included into the sane package if possible.

  the sane.h and saneopts.h file are files for compiling frontends (software that
  uses the installed backends).

  Bye
  Oliver
