Your change to configure works on Debian now.

Once I applied Joe's fix so that it would compile, I ran scanimage
three times in a row.  It passed all tests in about 25 seconds per
run.  My scanner bed is empty (I'm at work), but scanning a white
scanner lid seems to work.

The PID line seems to work fine.

Printing a small text file seemed to work, meaning I got no errors and
it disappeared from the print queue after a few seconds.  I'll know
when I get home what it generated.

I have yet to get any log messages or stderr/out messages with this
latest CVS version.  Logging a banner at startup would be a nice thing.
I also wouldn't mind having it log to the lpr facility instead of daemon
or whatever, since that seems like the most appropriate place.  Others
may disagree.
