Does he need support for USB Blaster v1? It's the only popular device
not currently supported with MSYS2 build as it lacks libftdi PKGBUILD
instructions.

If he has a regular FTDI-based debug adapter (such as Olimex's or
Amontek's), then he doesn't need anything apart from libusb-1.0 which
is autodetected and enabled during the ./configure stage. If that
doesn't happen properly, I'm all ears and ready to work towards fixing
that. But if we talk here about the deprecated ft2232 driver, then it
makes little sense to spend time on it, given plenty of known issues
and the fact "ftdi" driver works nicely. And if something is not
working as expected, please bugreport.
