So, if I understand this, the important part is building sane-backends 1.0.23
and manually dropping its genesys fileis into the RPM-based installation.

I've removed all the sane RPM files, and built sane-backends with prefix
pointing to /usr/local, then rebuilt xsane 0.998 and dropped it also into
/usr/local. at this point sane-find-scanner finds the device, but 
neither xsane nor scanimage -L will find it. I suspect I've just got
something not pointing to the files I've installed in /usr/local, but
think I need to go away from it for a few hours and let the brain recharge.

I'm sure it will, once I digest it. Thanks a bunch!
