CrossOver is using libusb for the iPod stuff. There is little chance of sharing
much of the hardware support with ReactOS however the higher level stuff is being
shared such as setupapi. Having a wineserver thread or something that acts like the
umpnpmgr on Windows would allow us to share a bit more code as well.

Thanks
