I'm only considering the API documentation, and the answer to the
expected question:
"If I use the libusbx API, how different is it from the libusb one? Are
there any specifics I should be aware of?"
The idea is that quite a few developers using libusbx and our API would
be familiar with the libusb one, and will want to find out if we have
done any drastic change, such as "All libusb_xyz calls have been renamed
libusbx_xyz".
The fact that libusbx is a replacement for libusb should be answered on
the main webpage, not in the API doc. But I think the API doc needs to
mention that switching from libusb 1.0.8 to libusbx is meant to be
trivial, as existing API calls and structures have not been modified.
