Some time ago I've asked if I should develop the Logitech features for
hal or continue the lomoco project. The answer was I should continue
developing lomoco cause hal could link against it.

It isn't as trivial as you think with usb control messages. You have
different devices. Corded mice, receivers with cordless mice and and you
have the new devices which provide two HID interfaces. To such a HID
interface you have to talk with raw kernel ioctls.
