Good deal.

One thing you might want to do, instead of using cam_open_device()
is to use cam_open_spec_device(). cam_open_device() takes the string it is
given and attempts to parse out a device name and unit number to use in
looking up the passthrough device. cam_open_spec_device() opens the
passthrough device for a particular device without any string bashing or
guessing. So you'd do something like this, if there's no peripheral driver
to attach to the scanner:
dev = cam_open_spec_device("pass", 4, O_RDWR, NULL);

Not yet. We still don't have enough controller support, and we're
missing one or two peripheral drivers as well. (not that they're a real
big deal. The major thing is controller support.)
