Well, done in svn. I have implemented a Qt Twain interface with AcquireImage
plugin. Now we can scan an image under windows.

It's not perfect, but it's a first stage. Also the code only compile under
win32. It's possible to port it under MacosX, because Tawin running too
under this system. There is few changes to do in the code, especially to
handle image data from twain interface (DIB image under win32, i don't know
unde mac).

Also, i don't have a Mac to play for the moment...
