[Libdlo] And yet another platform for DisplayLink

[Andy Fisher]

There were a few adaptors in the early days that had DC in but not many 
and I think you'd struggle to find them now. Monitors generally  don't draw 
power from USB (obviously mini-mons are an exception to this). Of course 
docking stations make a neater solution for something like this, especially 
the more recent mini docks.
