Checked up latest revision, autoreconf-ed and recompiled with libusb-0.1.8 on
Fedora 8. Strangely, it fixed problems with *cypress* subdriver - now it works
normally with Ippon Smart Power Pro 1400 even with old RHEL4 libusb. I suspect
that something were wrong with the sources or with the build environment when
I've been conducting previous experiments with this UPS.

Next step was to test in the RHEL4-like environment. I was in hope to do the
tests using CentOS4.4 LiveCD but it refused to function correctly on my home PC
(kernel sata_via driver incompatibilities with VIA PCI SATA/PATA controller).
After a bunch of tries-and-fails I had managed to get Scientific Linux 4.8
LiveCD up and running on the 16Gb USB stick. SL4.8 is another RHEL4 derivate so
testing on it effectively equals to the testing on CentOS4/RHEL4.

blazer_usb from the current NUT trunk works out-of-the box with the Ippon Smart
Power Pro 1400 (auto-using the cypress subdriver) on the SL4.8. It also works
normally with the Ippon Back Power Pro 700 when told to use the ippon subdriver
(it is still possible to use the phonix subdriver to communicate with this UPS
but it requires libusb upgrade).
