[pm-h] Perl libusb interface

[G. Wade Johnson]

I was thinking about it on the way to work this morning and had a somewhat
different idea. Device::USB seems to be somewhat higher-level than libusb in
the one method he has implemented.

So, I was thinking we could steal an approach from the Perl XML community. How
about we build Device::USB::LibUSB that is a relatively thin wrapper over
libusb. Then, we can implement a higher-level interface in Device::USB.

If another library turns out to be better than libusb, Device::USB could be
ported to that library instead.

What does everyone think?
