Since Arnaud is on vacation, I went ahead and integrated this. It's in
the Development branch now.

Arnaud: I tested compilation on OS X, and it seems to work (minus the
stuff that requires the Linux kernel HID driver). Let me know if you
want me to back out parts of this patch (I added temporary tags).

I merged Wolfgang's changes into the libhid.usermap file as well.

Basically, the only parts of
ftp://ftp.weo1.de/pub/software/nut-drivers-pw-20050821-122000.tgz that
I didn't use directly were the hotplug scripts and the
Makefile.drvbuild.
