Yes, I'd like that. I very much want patches to support this. My
intention has been to support a tool like the gt you describe below.
I've got some wip changes to rename libgadget->libusbg to avoid some
older libgadget projects that are not maintained but provide confusion.
I also have some other apis mostly finished that I previously mentioned
for removal and other support functions.

Let's plan on having gt being part of the same repo..packagers can split
the library and tool out as they need.

I was traveling last week and didn't get these updates cleaned up and
pushed but it should happen next week for 0.0.2.
