One of those, is to just standardise on the key 'driver' to return a
string telling you which driver is being used.

We could just overload the DevicePresenceNotify event, and either:
  a) add an _optional_ deviceid field to it, which has the following
     semantics:
       * if deviceid has a value, then that device has changed somehow,
       * if not, then the list has changed: a device has been
         added/removed.
  b) tell everyone to deal, and to have them rescan devices they're
     interested in on receiving a DPN.

Other than that, looks (belatedly) fine to me.

Cheers,
Daniel
