Well, that gets it as far as opening the device... After which it attempts
ioctls that we don't apparently support.  It looks as though the Linux version
is using their "sg" SCSI generic driver, rather than any kind of scanner
driver... So, I may just lose.

Meanwhile... xsane will preview, but if I try to actually do a full scan, it
aborts horribly.  Then any attempt to get a preview yields weird-looking
stufff... Almost as though xsane initiated an 18MB read request, and the
SCSI subsystem choked on it.  :)
