Patch 1 for microtek backend v0.10

I just put a patch for the current microtek backend on my website:
http://www.mir.com/mtek/

This should fix support for the Agfa StudioScan II/IIsi, and maybe
improve the function of the ScanMaker 600ZS. It also gives you
bigger gamma tables to work with (if supported).

If anyone tries it, tell me if what happens. Users who are currently
happy with the backend probably (hopefully) won't notice any difference.

Details:

As of December 3, 1998 - v0.10.1 (patch)

o Fixed off-by-1 error in revision-number parsing.
o dump_inquiry() now prints the "Vendor Specific String".
o Added model code/vendor name for the other 600ZS.
o Made get_scan_status() retry delay increase with each try (will
this help the poor 600ZS?).
o Corrected base resolution for Agfa StudioScan II/IIsi (400dpi).
o Disabled backend's clever aspect-ratio correction code for
expanded-mode scans with StudioScan II/IIsi (scanner handles it
internally - smart scanner.)
o Fixed gamma LUT code parsing stupidity: now correctly
determines maximum allowed LUT size, and uses it. (Especially
necessary for StudioScan II/IIsi.)
o The E6 claims to only support 256-byte LUT's, but the backend
now ignores that misinformation (and uses 1024).
o Now ignores denial of expanded-mode by older E6's (model code
0x63), in addition to newer E6's.
