I had thought that all of the USB stuff required an extension pack but I
surprised to find that I didn't need the extension pack to redirect a USB
mass storage device from the Windows host to a Linux guest. I also found
tons of source in their svn repository including their vboxusb.sys driver
and a filter driver (not sure what they use that for, my USB device seemed
to get replaced by the vboxusb.sys driver). So yeah I was a bit surprised
to find all this USB stuff in their repository since I also thought that
stuff wasn't open source.
