The the main reason I'm proposing doing HID before libusbK/win32 is that 
we already have it [1], as opposed to the new K/win32 implementation 
which needs to be redone (can't use the K branch).

Even after HID was removed by Peter, I kept an HID branch up. Granted, 
it's not been updated for a while, but I think it shouldn't be too much 
trouble to do so => HID *should* be relatively easy to get back in for 
Windows. And since this is handled as a new driver, just like K and 
win32 are, it will be easier for me to start from here and then add 
K/win32 than do the opposite, because I will have to update 2 branches 
updated otherwise (-pbatard and HID) when adding K/win32.

That is, provided we want Windows/HID back in libusbx.

Regards,
