Juergen,

What would be the reason for this update?

My stuff may be out of date, but it was all tested and working. I verified
it with Linux'ish lsusb(1) and USB-based FPGA JTAG programmer, for which
this stuff was written.

Can you show the diff between USB code from src/lib and from the distfile?

Instead of having a port with .c code, I'd drive towards having src/lib
changes (if any) be commited. And then that port only has to do:

	cp -rf src/lib/libusb port/tmp/dir

and build it with different -DDEFINES if necessary.

Thanks,
