Thanks for all the responces, both on and off list.
So, I should forget about the DLL, and if I intend to connect the thing
to a Linux computer, I'll have to develop the code myself for
communicating with it over USB. Fair enough. I might even try that.
I've done some surfing since yesterday. Why do I always do that after
asking stupid questions in public? It turns out that a Nicolas Sutre has
already ported the thing to Linux:

Velleman links to his solution from their product page
http://www.velleman.be/ot/en/product/view/?id=351346
which might mean something. Nicolas solution is only 250 lines of C
code. It #includes a usb.h, so I guess a lot of its functionality is
hidden there. It seems structured enough, so I might be able to find
some inspiration there.
I guess I have some reading to do before I can decide if I shall do this.
Anyway, thanks once again for the responces.
Not completely in dispair...
