This was discussed some time ago.  It was proposed that two new 
routines be added to libusb:

	Given a device, return the bus number and sequence of ports
	numbers in the upstream hubs above the device.

	Given a bus number and a sequence of port numbers, return
	the device at that location.

So far not much has been written (I think part of this was implemented
in the Windows port of libusb).
