No, and I'm not going to post one until the pvUSB stuff gets in, since
that work will involve refactoring the pvUSB code into PV and
DEVICEMODEL paths, and I don't fancy having to repeat that work every
time there's another revision. :-)

The core technology is working just fine; it's only the library
interface that really needed work in the last patch, and that will be
set by the pvUSB series.  So once that's in, it should be a relatively
small amount of work.
