Wilhelm,
Here's a patch that implements device insertion/removal hooks. I've tested it 
with scanbuttond backend and it solves the problem of firmware not being loaded 
to the scanner.

Well, could imagine "prepare_script" as an option name for the 
scriptname. It's value should be an absolute path name or a relative 
pathname, where the same rules apply as for all scripts (see scriptdir 
option). And I would to pass it at most the same env vars the action 
scripts receive. And additionally an env variable called "WHEN" (or make 
it configurable) with the values "inserted" or "removed" or thelike.

I'm looking forward to your contribution!
Thanks!
