Xiaofan, please hold off on reporting about the future until it has
actually happened.

The behavior of just about everyone involved in the libusbx fork
continues to blow my mind, but let's stay on topic.

Of course writing about what you want and what you would like to see
happen is perfectly legitimate, and indeed very valuable!

Statements like "now that so-and-so said that such-and-such will happen"
amplify expectations based on something that hasn't really happened
yet.

It can of course be helpful for libusb-1.0 API users to know the
latest news from the hostile fork (their words) libusbx, but as I
have always stated, and contrary to what libusbx developers
communicate, I think there's really nothing more important than to
maintain API compatibility as far as possible between forks, even if
some new APIs make no sense.

Finally, libusb-compat-0.1 is orthogonal both to libusb and libusbx.

There are known issues with libusb-compat-0.1 on Windows, someone
just needs to work on fixing them.

That's certainly one way to help clean up the utter madness that is
wannabe libusb implementations on Windows, so that users don't have
to deal with so much confusion.
