Yes - I was thinking of starting such an effort, too, but was too busy.
However in the long run it should save a lot of work ...

Just got 0.62. Compiled fine (except for PINT support which probably died
due to very old PINT headers installed on my system).

No special config options except for disabling PINT.
> - What SCSI adapter are you using?
NCR53c400 based card (non-PNP) shipped with the scanner. Using standard linux
g_NCR5380 module.

Yes. Tried 18,50,100,300,600,1200. Diagonal line appears perfect. No drops,
no other flaws.
> - Does color scanning work?
Yes. Tried 18,100,300,600,1200. No color distortions except for the two initial
"stripes" resulting from the alternate correction code.
> - Include the output of command:
> SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK=3 scanimage -h -d mustek >/dev/null
[sanei_init_debug]: Setting debug level of mustek to 3.
[mustek] attach: opening /dev/scanner
[mustek] attach: sending INQUIRY
[mustek] attach: sending TEST_UNIT_READY
[mustek] attach: firmware revision 1.00
[mustek] attach: using special line-distance algorithm
[mustek] attach: found Mustek scanner model MFS-12000SP (flatbed scanner)
I will try with -disable-ld-fix tomorrow, if I find time. Should probably
yield some errors.
Another thing : A fried of mine has managed to make the scanner hang by
sending totally bogus values for the window size. It is really the scanner
that hangs. I had to power-cycle the server which hung but when it came up
again, it hung at the point where the SCSI-module is inserted. Power-cycling
the scanner solved the problem. Maybe I will look into this, too.
