Turns out the script did not yet support levels greater than 2. I've fixed 
that as well.

I've kept that for compatibility.

Well, the level is an indication of how deep a device is nested. I suppose 
that in itself can be a clue to mysterious failures. IMO it also makes it 
a bit easier to "see" the tree structure in the output.

I've also added count, even if just for compatibility.

Well, on my system I have a device (docking station USB hub) that shows 
different max packet size for the device and endpoint 0:
T:  Bus=1 Lev=1 Prnt=1 Port=1 Dev#=48 Spd=480 MxCh=4
D:  Ver=2.00 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=02 MxPS=64 #Cfgs=1
P:  Vendor=0424 ProdID=2504 Rev=0.1
C:  #Ifs=1 Cfg#=1 Atr=e0 MxPwr=2mA
E:  Ad=00(both) Atr=00(Control) MxPS=0040 Ivl=0ms
I:  If#=00 Alt=1 #EPs=01 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=02 Driver=hub
E:  Ad=81(in) Atr=03(Interrupt) MxPS=0001 Ivl=256ms

Anyway, I've kept it for now.

Other changes;
- preserve spaces in classname
- make class names for vendor/application specific and unknown same as
  /proc/bus/usb/devices
- added copyright and licence note (GPLv2+), assuming Greg and Randy will
  be OK with that

Updated version attached.

Cheers,
FJP
