Attached. Upstream already has the sane patches. I had to add some 
#undefs for u_char, u_long, and u_int for Fedora as I was getting 
conflicts with the winsock(2).h defines. It seems MinGW in Fedora is 
adding them, but I don't see them in any system header.

Yes, isn't Vista grand? ;) This is widely reported by Vista users[1] and 
affects an in-house Vista machine with me.

Since libusb-0.1.x is deprecated, I doubt we'll see fixes for this 
issue. I'm not sure if all packages relying on libusb in Fedora are 
ready for libusb-1.0 as it is an ABI change. However, there is a 
libusb-compat-0.1 package to make the transition easy. I haven't tried 
compiling libusb-1.0 in MinGW yet though. I haven't found anyone who has 
so I'm not sure how well it will compile. When more free time comes up 
I'll attempt a build.
