After looking at the *mo file format, I've just wrote a filereader for those 
files. No more need to generate *qm files.
Thanks for your reply anyway !

BTW, there's a small problem in the pnm backend:
Toggling the "Hand Scanner Simulation" - option should result in 
SANE_INFO_RELOAD_PARAMS
in pnm.c/sane_control_option/SANE_ACTION_SET_VALUE:

case 9:
  hand_scanner = !!*(SANE_Word *) value;
  myinfo |= SANE_INFO_RELOAD_PARAMS;
