Do I understand correctly that the "crawl through sysfs" approach means 
bus-specific conversion between sysfs contents (e.g the fact that 
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/idProduct contains "4002" here) and environment 
variables (in this case, PRODUCT=...)? I.e., is it just a 
reimplementation of old /etc/hotplug/*.rc scripts in C?
