20011023 (from karsten.festag@t-online.de (Karsten Festag)).
Bugfix for scsi_read_image_status - supports now the old and the
new method. Improved backend-calibration supports brightness and
contrast settings and color balancing. Enable 12 bit per color
scanning with Scanmaker 9600XL (and other types that use the segreg
pixel transfer format and support 12 bit, untested). 10 bit does not
work yet. Make C6 USB work.

an empty name. Better debug output for dev_cmd. Set size for group options to
0. Set size of halftone pattern to non 0.
Henning Meier-Geinitz <henning@meier-geinitz.de>
resulted in black images on some Paragon 6000SP scanners. Added
option to disable backtracking. New version: 1.0-109.
