ok, found it.
my experience with windows drivers is close to null, and, after reading your
links, my understanding is that now some of the devices no longer work unless
Zadig is installed. can you confirm this?
if so, could you update the manual to explain this? since the official manual
has no reference to Zadig.

perhaps someone should notify them to update the manuals.

ok, when 0.9.0 will be officially out, and I'll build a new version of GNU ARM
Eclipse OpenOCD binaries, I'll use these options.

my build procedures already compile libusb-1, libusb-0, libusb-win32 and
libftdi from sources (and I have a custom pkg-config to detect them), so adding
support for libftdi-based devices wouldn't be a problem.
do you foresee any problem with adding --enable-ftdi to the configure step?
are there any devices left out when using this configuration?
thank you for helping clarify some of the issues.
