No objections here.

Since the libusb-1.0 implementation was fairly Linux-centric to start  
with, I presume we will have a long time before all platforms support  
it as well as libusb-0.1 -- but if you need the extra file descriptors  
for other drivers, I don't see a reason not to add that support.
