This can work for Linux based Gadgets, but it won't help me access
a camera that has PTP and nothing else.  I want to mount a PTP camera
just like I can with a USB Mass Storage camera.  

Since PTP is a standard USB class, it seems reasonable for the USB system
to provide a driver.  To me a file system interface is the most generic
and useful.  

Of course if I want it badly enough, I guess I can write it...
