[Nut-upsdev] the future libusb interface for newhidups

[Alfred Ganz]

Peter,

You may want to have a look at the comments to Bug 164524 at 
bugzilla at redhat.com:
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=164524
I filed this a long while ago, because of the mess we get into when 
shutting down Linux via /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt, and the UPS device no 
longer being reachable when we want shut it down.

There seem to be some changes to libusb on the way, that expect us to 
use the /dev entry, which it is implied that that will be available at 
shutdown without the /proc/bus/usb tree. I sure hope there will be a 
proper way to correlate from the carefully identifed device by newhidups
to the proper /dev device.

Hope this will not be too messy! AG
