Re: How to use the package sane-airscan?

[Kabelo Moiloa]

SANE frontends can be made to work with the`sane-airscan` backend using the 
following trick:

1. Execute `guix install sane-airscan simple-scan` followed by:

 2. `env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${HOME}/.guix-profile/lib/sane 
SANE_CONFIG_DIR=${HOME}/.guix-profile/etc/sane.d simple-scan` .

 This shows that `SANE_CONFIG_DIR` should for sure be a native-search-path and 
that perhaps we should have a `GUIX_SANE_BACKEND_PATH` as well.
