So if I understand this better then you mean that we would have both the
sane
demon plus a primaxscan demon running at the same time ?
If this is so, is it not more complicated than integrating primaxscan
into
sane ?
ANd then updates of primaxscan, so that there would be a library which
the
primaxsane backend would simply link against. This would also allow us
to
continue to build the primaxscan binary.
