Note that Pierre-Yves later posted a copy of his driver, which he said
uses "libhid like tripplite_usb". Technically, that's libHID, not
libhid :-) So it shouldn't need any more configure tests beyond what
is there for tripplite_usb and newhidups.

Unfortunately, I still haven't had time to go over the code, but it
hasn't been forgotten.

This is referring to the external libhid which lives at
http://libhid.alioth.debian.org, not the embedded libhid.
