Yeah, I've been trying to find the time to rebase it against libusbx, 
especially as some people [1] have been using it and adding their own 
fixes. Of course the new hotplug proposal has now reshuffled the cards. 
The bulk of the code came for Nokia, with the core of the patch (Linux + 
OS-X) at [2] and the initial Windows counterpart at [3].

Unsurprisingly, I'm very much in favour of that approach too. That's not 
to say that what you first release will earn you a lot of accolades, but 
it's a lot easier to comment on the flaws and merits of a proposal, and 
whether a better design might exist, once you have something concrete 
that can be used to generate feedback.
