Hi Freddie,

Today my coworker called me complaining he can't use OpenOCD on his
Windows XP (yeah, lame!) with an Olimex adapter.

In the end it appeared he was confused by all the possible driver
options (and I can easily see it happening with the other regular
users too).


So my untested proposal for the future windows OpenOCD releases is to:

1. Remove all libusb-win32 files from the distribution archive;

2. Compile OpenOCD using libusb-compat for those drivers that are not
ported to libusb-1.x or the common layer yet;

3. State in the drivers readme that if one is using stlink and has
vendor's drivers installed he doesn't need anything extra;

4. Rephrase the Zadig installation instructions a bit to make it more
clear for the non-native speakers that WinUSB driver _must_ be used
for all the USB adapters (and either do not mention libusb-win32 at
all or prohibit installing it :) )

What do you think?
