KScan uses scanner's brightness/contrast controls during the final
scan. I'll introduce the same feature for gamma correction soon. Emu-
lation is made primarily for preview image.

OK, I'll fix that. But I even doubt now that anyone except me can
compile/run it. I want that to be confirmed before adding any new
features and fixing the bugs that leave some possibility to run it.
A homepage for KScan was created : http://rf-hp.npi.msu.su/kscan.html
