I've visited the libusb site, and the only documentation available seems 
to be for developers. If someone can point me to more user-oriented 
information I'll be happy to include it. I assume it's out of the beta 
phase? Are there distribution manufacturers including it in their stable 
branches of binaries?

Thanks,
hs
