Hi,

Here is a small series, of little cleanups, and of goal to throw early
an error when the win32 usbclerk can't be reached. In turn, the error
can be catched by client code to show a useful dialog.

Hi Marc-Andre,

Thanks for taking the time to cleanup the usb code.

Currently users can manually install the WinUSB driver for devices and
usbredir those devices without installing usbclerk.
That's why spice-gtk tries to usbredir a device even if WinUSB installation fails.

Does that hold with this patch-set too ?

(I don't know if there are users that actually install the driver manually,
or if it's worth keeping that behavior).

I wasn't aware of this behavior. Is it documented somewhere? Is it really worth keeping? Imho, if it's not user friendly, we better not support it, than to keep code that theorically could do that, but we never try, while for the rest of us it appears to be broken when usbclerk isn't installed.
