It sounds like a useful thing, not sure how hard it would be under OpenBSD. It takes USB traffic and routes it over TCP/IP from one computer to another. So something like a webcam or SDR dongle could be upstairs and you're watching it downstairs. You could possibly control/access remote devices over the internet if your connection was good enough.
They had it working for Linux and Windows but it seems to have been abandoned about 2011. As written it uses sysfs, which even Linux abandoned, I haven't looked at what they used it for exactly. It's looking for /usr/include/sysfs/libsysfs.h which I don't have even on my Raspberry Pi, the only Linux box I've got.
