Or the system library should be named more appropriately.  The libusb that
is part of the BSD USB stack is soley a Human Interface Device library,
not a generalized USB device library.  It was given a more global name
than was appropriate (all HIDs are USB devices, but not all USB devices
are HIDs).  Hence, it should be named libhid (or something similar).
