Title: Free Image Scan Version with epkowa Driver for Epson Scanners

Description:
This version of Image Scan contains only free software.

All proprietary binary-only i386-only software was removed and the free
parts were changed so that it now compiles and runs natively even on
non-i386 platforms.

The free Image Scan version contains only the epkowa driver for SANE.
The free version of this driver cannot work for those scanners that
require proprietary binary-only i386-only libraries, which are only
included in the original iscan package. At the moment, those scanners
are the following models: Perfection 1250 / Perfection 1250 PHOTO /
GT-7200, Perfection 1260 / Perfection 1260 PHOTO / GT-7300, Perfection
3170 PHOTO / GT-9400, Perfection 2480 PHOTO / Perfection 2580 PHOTO /
GT-F500 / GT-F550, Perfection 4180 PHOTO / GT-F600, Perfection 3490
PHOTO / Perfection 3590 PHOTO / GT-F520 / GT-F570, Perfection 4490
PHOTO / GT-X750.

Some scanners require proprietary firmware files which are available in
the package iscan-firmware. At the moment, those scanners are the
following models: Perfection 3170 PHOTO / GT-9400, Perfection 2480
PHOTO / Perfection 2580 PHOTO / GT-F500 / GT-F550, Perfection 4180
PHOTO / GT-F600, Perfection 3490 PHOTO / Perfection 3590 PHOTO /
GT-F520 / GT-F570, Perfection 4490 PHOTO / GT-X750.

The front-end /usr/bin/iscan was removed because it requires a
proprietary binary-only i386-only library. This should cause no problem
because the free driver epkowa runs natively even on non-i386 platforms
so that all the usual SANE front-ends (scanimage, xscanimage, xsane,
kooka) can be used even on non-i386 platforms.
