Sorry, forgot to mention the URL.

BTW, iscan-1.16.0 saw the light of day yesterday. It adds support for
a small business MFP marketed in Japan. That's probably not so very
interesting for most of you but what may be more interesting is that
there are now also experimental gcc-3.4 or later packages.
For those who missed 1.15.0, that version added support for the Stylus
Photo RX700 and the AcuLaser CX11. Moreover, iscan uses GTK+ 2.x by
default as of that version and can be used as a GIMP 2.x plugin.
