I've made diffs from each version to the next and couldn't find
anything. The fact that these libs work with TiLP 6.09 also confirms
this. This all points to TiLP itself, but if I'm correct TiLP doesn't
really do any "low level" stuff. It only passes options and commands on
to the libs and that all seems to work ok.

I've also added some debugging info and checked that the cable gets
inited/opened/closed/exited properly and no problems there either.

I'm running out of ideas, but I'll keep trying...
