The KScanDialog plugin interface is now implemented by the ksaneplugin in 
kdegraphics (using libksane) and also by libkscan (a plugin) in unmaintained. 
(Note the difference between ksane and kscan :)

I do not see the need for a plugin interface as it is not likely to be 
implemented and maintained in more than one instance at a time anyways. 

I think kooka-git also might use the ORC part of the interface but that part 
has not been maintained for many years in the SC. I have not checked kooka-git 
tho lately.

I would vote to move it to kde4support and deprecate it. I can volunteer to 
port kolourpaint to libksane if needed. 

Regards,
Kåre
