Nearly all all the intelligent code (95%?) was in the libraries,
mustek_usb2.c was only something like a wrapper arround these
libraries. I don't want to distribute them separately. Furher more,
these libraries are always named the same way for different backends
(e.g. libasic.so).

And i also don't like SANE to install separate "helper" libraries in
addition to the backend itself.

The code of the libraries is now mostly in mustek_usb2_asic.c and
mustek_usb2_high.c.

The ones in mustek_usb2.c for sure. However, there are also lots of
globals in the other files that should go into the chip structure or
other structures.
