You are right. Somebody needs to contribute the Verisign (or similar
Certification
Authority) key to sign a 64 bit device driver in order to get libusb-win32
device driver to work under Vista 64 without user side hacking.

On the other hand, libusb-win32 1.0 may be able to solve the issue
by using WinUSB as the backend. The other backend is HID. The
problem is that libusb-win32 1.0 SVN is not working and has not
been updated for quite a while. The last check-in was 22 months ago.

BTW, libusb-win32 does support XP 64bit but I think there are very
few people who are using XP 64bit.
