Now that libusb-1.0 has a working Windows HID backend, will you
consider moving libhid to libusb 1.0? libusb 1.0 is now working
under Linux, Mac OS X (no HID backend yet) and Windows.

http://www.libusb.org/
http://www.libusb.org/wiki/windows_backend (code frozen now)

I am thinking this might be the easiest way to get libhid working
under Windows.

I probably won't have the time to do it, but that shouldn't stop  
anyone else.

libhid 0.2 is inextricably tied to the libusb 0.1 API. The next  
version should be a rewrite, and should probably be done by someone  
who has used libusb 1.0 more than I have.

libhid on fedora

Hello everyone, 


   My name is Manuel Martinez, I have worked with libhid on Fedora and CentOS.  After send a couple of request mails to the owners of this great piece of software, I started to push it in fedora.

   I'd like to let you know, that the package has been started to be reviewed, it builds fine, but I'm still making some adjustments in order to accomplish the Fedora Package Guidlines.

   There are really smart people reviewing it, and I trust it will being approved.

   Thank you for let me share this code with developers in other distributions, I'll keep you posted about changes in spec file, and patches in order to get a nice build on fedora.

   Best,
