The reason this is Is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtAVRv8RMBg the feature you are talking about? Playing with grid settings one can get a good result in most situations, tho being able to set one single line (or cross of two) at user selectable coords would indeed help in some cases. > helpful is because I can choose a line of text or a border edge because I > wasn't able to straighten out the images just by eyeballing them.

Hmm... maybe your case is a bit extreme. OTOH, I tried some fake scans and zooming in (a lot) with grid set to 1 pix gave pretty good control with Gimp corrective method. Could I see a crop of your scans to try with the same image? If not the thing you need, you better follow the advice of other posts.
