Interesting - definitely something I will take a look at. Thank you
for the pointer.

Yeah, I was looking at backporting some of the features from libusb
CVS HEAD to libusb-0.1 on FreeBSD a while back and improving FreeBSD
compatability as well for an application, I work on - but we ended up
making FreeBSD specific work-arounds in the application instead.

The current stable version of libusb certainly makes a lot to wish for
on FreeBSD.

Oh, I haven't looked at this in a while. I'll try to come up with a
port for FreeBSD.
