Can't believe I forgot to mention the backend :-)

What do you think the API should look like?

The "easy" way out would be to have several mutually exclusive access  
methods, selected at library initialization time - that is, if you  
want to open one device in hidraw, and another with libusb, you would  
be out of luck.

I guess this goes hand in hand with global state, and the ability to  
use libhid in a threaded environment.
