Hi Kyle,
I would be perfectly happy to merge in a patch that allows Device::USB
to work on Windows. Feel free to send the patch directly to me at
wade@anomaly.org
As long as the patch doesn't break the Linux version, I'll just apply
it directly. Otherwise, I may need to work with it to make sure that
both work.
Of course, you will get credit in the docs (with all the fame and
fortune that comes with that<grin/>).
Thanks for your help.

There are 2 possible outcomes: If the result confirms the hypothesis,
then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the
