Just because thousands of users already have a 0.1.0 release compiled 
with ftd2xx support. The performance is more or less the same, old 
version supports one's JTAG without problems, new version requires one 
to change the drivers, which cannot be just downloaded, but need to be 
created, and then you somehow have to obtain a hacked version of 
libusb.sys and copy that to your system32 directory... I just don't see 
that coming...

This way you would get a package that's way bigger than normal OpenOCD 
(with all additional files the installer is around 3M), that has no easy 
method of interfacing with gdb or telnet (you can no longer connect to 
localhost).

4\/3!!
