idVendor and idProduct look good according to the output of usbconfig, 
but whenever I try to refer to ddesc->idVendor (or anything else in that 
structure) I get "error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type". 
This is what sent me looking through the includes for the actual type 
definition.

Other than the usbconfig code that uses the LIBUSB20_DEVICE_DESC() 
macro, is there any other example code out there that does what I'm 
trying to do?
