Except to be able to do that, you will need to add about 6 MB of driver 
files, because that is the current size of libwdi with the 32 and 64 bit 
(must have both) WinUSB, libusb-win32 and libusbK drivers.

I don't think forcing Windows users to use a libusbx library that's more 
than 6 MB is that great an idea.
