My thoughts were more along the lines of just lightly hacking over the
uk* and calling it ss*. Leave the old TWAIN code there ifdef'ed out
just in case someone wants it. I think it is important that if we
have a scsi scanner driver that it be made to work correctly -
according to the principle of least surprise. This is not the case at
the moment.

Neither can I but it cannot hurt to have it there just in case.

I agree it is neither but I am wary about trashing code that someone
may be relying on.
