If you know a way to change ReadFile(), WriteFile(),
and DeviceIoControl() to call libusb functions, please
tell me, that's what I wanted to do from the
beginning. In Wine, a HANDLE _is_ a file descriptor,
which doesn't help at all.

Because the scanner, like too many others, is
unsupported by SANE.
