I don't know if you guys are following the verbose discussion on the
libusb list.. I've touched on this over there too.

Which way do you prefer? Having libusb use the native HID API, or
have a libhidio? libusb could at best use get/set report for
simulating interrupt transfers, but on the other hand libhidio would
not provide more data IO than get/set report either..

I can't decide what I would like best, both ways have some appeal.
