Re: Phone Detection Scheme

It can also be done on Mac by anyone who wants to fight the 
various APIs (they are the usual pseudo-object orientation using
only C) plus layers of abstraction and other crud.

In theory we could poll the usb device list behind the scenes
using the existing libusb code.  Unfortunately the libusb api
does memory management really badly (it isn't clear who owns
the memory lists and they can be replaced or leaked by various
calls).

I did just try dbus on my Linux box, but it doesn't seem to
provide events for hardware addition/removal.
