[App_rpt-users] simpleusb

[Jim Duuuude]

The GPIO/PP functions have not yet been implemented in chan_simpleusb. Since the part
of the channel driver that deals with the HID interface of the USB device came from the
exact same origin, it wont be that difficult to port the changes made in chan_usbradio
into chan_simpleusb to support the GPIO/PP user I/O functions. 

The reason I never took the time to  do this was that, previous to about 4 days ago, absolutely
no one other them myself and a couple of other people which have configurations that I did personally
have even noticed its existence, although its been in the codebase for a number of years now,
and neither those people nor I have ever had any need for these functions.

I am glad that people are finally discovering chan_simpleusbradio. It opens possibilities that 
would just never happen with chan_usbradio (and its associated system requirements).

Currently, I have several rather intense projects that I am in the middle of. I will, however,
make it a priority to do these changes to chan_simpleusb as soon as I can, since it's finally
necessary and appropriate.
