Bug#712056: RFS: scantailor [ITP] -- interactive post-processing tool for scanned document pages
Hi Kardan,
I should have looked at 712056 before my answer. But as I did some C
programming in the past, I thought that I understood the problem and
"Hey, this one is easy to solve" :-(

Yup. There is no need to do it again. But I suggest another point of view.
Daniel managed to overcome your problem. His package was reviewed (1)
and some
work still has to be done. Comparing what you did and what Daniel did may be
quite instructive. But instead of browsing in different sources and
comparing
them it's probably more effictive to have a look at the
"maint-guide(-xx)" (2)
and "developers-reference" (3) packages - in that order.
Take it as an exercise. Reading a text book or listening to some lecture is
one thing. Making use of some theory in real life *and failing to do so* is
the other thing. And that is really instructive :-(
