For xc3sprog, I think I only will use async calls when libusb-1 can be easily

B.t.w. a question to those working with WinUSB:
Is it possible to map the calls to winusb.dll to libusb at all? How much
work will be involved? The reason why I ask: If we can map all calls to
winusb to libusb, a replacement dll can be written for Wine and winusb
programs can be run on Linux and other systems that can run Wine/libusb.
I have writte a similar replacement-dll for ftd2xx. I could run FTDI
mprog.exe on Linux with it. I tried to integrate into official Wine, but
patch requests got by unnotices/uncommented/unappied.
Bye
