Finding the string index was harder than I expected, since I can't get 
anything useful out of what libusb20_dev_get_device_desc() returns. 
Heck, I even tried a short for loop from 0 to 15 just to see if the 
values I saw in usbconfig were magic values pointing to the string.

How do I find the string index?
