[Spice-devel] Problem with USB redirection

[Andy Gibbs]

Hi Christophe,

You gave a link for a Windows build of remote-viewer with usb redirection 
support compiled in (see below; sorry for top-posting), but the link seems 
to be broken now -- or at least the files have been deleted.

Is there any chance you could post a link to a newer version / upload the 
original files again?  I would be most grateful!

Also, a general question: is there a timescale for this support to become 
standard?

Thanks
Andy

This scratch build of mingw-spice-gtk has usb redirection enabled, but I
don't know if more is needed for everything to work (usbclerk/usbdk?):
