Cheers!  Don't get too excited until it works for you too though ;-)

It'll probably be a while - once I've chased down a few more issues and merged 
the patch into BitKeeper, I'm keen to go work on something else for a bit ;-)

I suspect porting the backend will be reasonably straightforward as I don't 
think the USB client API has changed much (at all?).

The frontend will probably require a little of work - the host controller 
interface has changed a bit.  A quick scan of the code doesn't suggest 
anything dramatic, however.

That would be very welcome :-)  If you have the time to try it out I'd love to 
see a patch that I could merge.

Another thing I'd like to see someday is a BSD frontend.  My frontend is GPL 
so it's probably easiest to rewrite a BSD frontend from scratch.  If anyone 
in the community is interested I could provide assistance.

Cheers,
Mark
