Note that libusbx does not maintain a 0.x API, only a 1.x one, so if you're planning to do any work on 0.x (I assume that would be on the compatibility layer, since 0.x is obsolete), you're going to have to see with the libusb guys. > Still, it is of large interest > that packages depending on e.g. libusb-1.0-dev can be built (not all > features for these packages are usb-related).

I don't really see issues with adding backends, though I have reservations about how popular Hurd support is going to be, which, and I have to be honest here, is likely to have a direct impact on how much time we want to invest into that effort. Due to limited resources, we already have a huge backlog of things we need to process, including another backend (WinCE) that has been waiting over 6 months now for integration work to start, so be mindful that you might not get your patches integrated as fast as you'd like. Nonetheless, and time permitting, we're committed to improving libusbx and adding features when opportunity knocks, so if you go ahead, we'll try to work something out for you.
