Thanks, however, it is from 2002, has a patch to Makefile.in which today
is quite different and I have no idea how to retrofit this patch to the
newest Makefile.in so I'll refrain from using this backend.

On the other hand the readme indicated another solution called vuescan
which I googled my way to. I know it is quite another solution than
sane, it is commercial with no open source, but maybe someone has
comments as to the use of vuescan?
