I do not like the name either. The original name lsusb also
sucks since it conflicts with usbutils package's lsusb which is
widely used under Linux.

I agree.

I think the current listdevs example is a bit too weak, weaker than
libusb-0.1's testlibusb example anyway.
http://git.libusb.org/?p=libusb-compat-0.1.git;a=blob;f=examples/testlibusb.c;hb=HEAD;js=1

Can we just remove it and then create a libusb-1.0 version
of testlibusb? libusb-win32 also use a similar example of
testlibusb.
http://libusb-win32.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/libusb-win32/branches/libusb-testing/tests/testlibusb.c?revision=413&view=markup

On the other hand, xusb has similar functionality but the output
does not seem to be as nice as testlibusb.
