A simple symlink will do, imho.  Note that having the flexibility
to use any serial port on the command line exists in pilot-link.
Also, some people may have multiple pilots syncing to one machine,
most of which will not be using usb (unless they are all Visors).

If you are going to have it create a link on the fly, perhaps a more
specific name like /dev/visor could be used.  Then the user could choose
whether or not to link to that.  That could be a nice feature...
