To provide for the compromise that was made wrt choice of C runtime library,
there would need to be a matching libusb function that calls free()
internally.  My recollection is that, with only one exception (which is not
currently used on Windows anyway), free-ing data is always done by libusb,
not the caller.

Agreed.
