Sonofabitch:

http://www.libusb.org/ticket/89

Most notably:

"""
Nathan is the Mac OS X expert in libusb, but it seems to me that Apple have
stopped the previous workaround that allowed the kernel HID driver to be
blocked for specific USB devices (codeless kext) from working since a recent
system update, so at the moment there is indeed no way to access HID class
devices using libusb, which isn't the fault of libusb.

Please see
http://libusb.org/wiki/FAQ#CanIcreateadriverlessdeviceusingHIDclass for
more information and a link to HIDAPI.
"""

Basically libusb cannot access HID devices anymore in OSX, because they don't
provide a way for developers to prevent the kernel from claiming HID devices.

The only solution is to move to HIDAPI, which should work on linux and Mac.

The API looks simple enough, I can try to do that when I get some time.

At this point, if you use Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later, you cannot use libconcord
wwith MacOSX. :/
