  Some time ago I made some changes to snapscan-usb.c to make it compile with
  sane-1.0.2. It seems that Henrijk in the meantime has silently done the same...
  you can get my versions from
  http://www.ginko.de/user/oschwartz/snapscan/snapscan-usb.tgz

  I think a better USB integration would be nice - I was thinking of adding an
  USB keyword to the snapscan.conf file to activate USB support in the backend
  (similar to other backends). Unfortunately this requires some restructuring
  of the code, since the current implementation uses a rather ugly method of
  'over#defining' the SCSI routines. I made a weak attempt on an implementation,
  but I don't find much time for it at the moment. If you're willing to do some
  work on it, please go ahead.

  Oliver
