<EM>&gt; Earlier I suggested improving the documentation of sane_init(),
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; listing the allowed return values. At the moment, this is
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; unspecified, and seem to differ from backend to backend and from
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; frontend to frontend. Then, someone wanted to remove the return value
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; from sane_init() completely instead, and the documentation was never
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; changed.
</EM><BR>
<P>Perhaps sane_init should ALWAYS refer to the distribution, and a new
<BR>
call could be added to deal with the versions within. At the minimum,
<BR>
I'd like backend/dll.c to return the MAJOR/MINOR/REV associated with
<BR>
the whole distribution instead of MAJOR/MINOR/0. (Did you notice that
<BR>
dll ignores specific backends return values, provided the MAJOR numbers
<BR>
match?)
