Well, it's explained directly above the download link. Quote:

When you download the gt68xx backend for the first time, use SANE
1.0.16 (or later) or the latest SANE CVS snapshot from the CVS
snapshots page. Unpack, run ./configure ; make ; make install. 

For updating, you can also download the smaller packages (ca. 80 kb)
linked below. They don't work stand-alone, e.g. there is no Makefile.
So you need to get a snapshot at least once. When you want to update
to a new version, just unpack the gt68xx backend in the sane-backends
directory of a snapshot and run make distclean; ./configure ; make ;
make install.

Bye,
