Re: bitpim and libusb

Attached is a working (on 10.6.2 anyway) prototype of native/usb1 (and modifications -- not yet ready to be committed-- to usbscan.py and commport.py). Please give the new module a try. Note that the library path is hardcoded for macos (/opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib) and will need to be updated to support linux/bsd.

The module uses ctypes instead of SWIG because I felt this approach would be cleaner and easier to maintain. Any comments on this approach?

Joe, do you have any comments?
