It is a nice idea :)

We have some work going on on hooking new devices (openable by
CreateFiule() from the make-safedisc-work crowd).

It is not yet finished, but you likely can hook yourself in.

I guess you only need to provide USBD.SYS <-> libusb functionality.

You could also write a driver using "libusb" as native ...
