Huh?

It hasn't changed one bit since I gave the link. What you did miss at 
the time is that I had already integrated Xiaofan's OSX patches (which I 
fixed and integrated before you did) as well as Sean's patches, which we 
said we wanted to have too.

Therefore I set it to a state where it contains everything we saw as 
must have for the first libusbx release. I'm pretty sure I did all that 
before I provided a link back to you, and I haven't pushed anything 
since, so I don't see how it could have changed from the first time you 
looked at it...

Everything in there has been identified as required for our first 
release, so the expectation is that you will pick it all (but you should 
already have your version of Xiaofan's patch). If you want some of it 
redone, or if you plan to leave anything out, please let us know.

Also note that regardless of what happens on libusb, I'm not planning to 
add anything more to libusbx, unless a critical fix arises.
I'm seeing libusb getting bogged down with yet another "Oh there's 
movement for a release? Let's push everything we can then, and make sure 
that no release is going to happen as a result". We're supposed to be 
smarter than that.

If we can have regular releases, which I very much hope we will, whether 
we get commits into this train or the next won't really matter. And I 
think this train is full enough as it is.
