good, thanks for the pointers.

not sure to understand you. The driver is already using libusb, but
not NUT's nut_usb.h or libusb.h.
this doesn't much matter since my 2nd step on USB improvements (after
the IDs extraction I'm about to finish) is to have some generic shared
function (like ser_*())

Can you (Arjen or Alex) check for integrating this patch? I'll take
care of updating it for USB_DEVICE declaration and the usb_info
struct.

thanks,
Arnaud
