 I was just thinking an updated version may be useful, but if it's
already working for everyone maybe less so...

 Or would it work as a linux libusb-1.0.so too?  I know the libusb 1.0
stuff added some functions since 9.x at least... maybe hps would know
(Cc'd.)

 That's just a checkout from head, see the port Makefile for how it's
generated. (.if defined(BOOTSTRAP)...)

 That's what I orginally had but hps suggested I check out from head
instead.  (Tho that was when I couldn't get it building at first, which
turned out to be just a CFLAGS -I problem so the 10.0 code should now
build this way as well.)

 Thanx,
