Ok, sounds good to have also an up to date repository of Canon’s proprietary
scanner backends

However, one point about those Canon backends: 
- Only executable code available, 
- Work only with Canon’s scangearmp software
- Seem to be designed for Sane, but AFAIK (self experience on Pixma MP610
and after googling), no one has been able to have them working with Sane
(scanimage always fail). 

IMHO, those external backends are really part of Canon’s proprietary code,
not sure they can work with current versions of Sane...
