Same here. I was planning to recreate them, against the new official, 
once we're through with the new 8.

Refused by Daniel, as per one of his previous e-mails one week ago. Of 
course I think that's a short-sighted decision, when xusb has already 
proven helpful when trying to troubleshoot issues with our users, but 
what are you gonna do?

This one could probably be applied as is, but I'd rather see it part of 
a new batch that deals with core. If maintainers want to go through with 
it right now, that'd be grand.

I think the new "consensus" is that the project files should go to the 
msvc directory. I was planning to work on that once the current are 
generated.

Might depend on what we do with version (libusb_version.h, not the 
rejected libusb_getversion() API call). Personally, I see using a 
separate libusb_version.h (and .h.in) and referencing it from the .rc as 
a better approach than going through an .rc.in. Besides, that's more or 
less what libusb-win32 is doing as well. In that case, the .rc patch 
needs to be redone.
