 we often need to add non-root access for USB devices -- typically devices
 used for Lego or other robotics applications.

 we should add a udev rule to give rw permissions to everyone, based on
 some useful criteria:  perhaps if no kernel driver has claimed the device,
 or perhaps simply for all devices that aren't of certain classes (e.g.,
 everything but storage devices).
