Description: there is mismatch between the current USBIP_VERSION under Linux and Windows in the usbip-utils. Linux version is at 0x00000111 for the usbip-utils, while the driver doesn't have any trace left; under Windows, the driver is at 0x000106 (sic) while usbip-utils exposes both 0x000111 (config.h) and 0x000106 (configure.ac).

The usbip-utils and driver both use the same USBIP_VERSION definition, at least for a while, but there was a confusion in its meaning: it should represent a protocol version that doesn't increase unless the protocol is changed).

There is also a LIBUSBIP_VERSION, which seems to still be at 0.1.0 under both OSes.

What needs to be done:

• Clarify how these versions are to be interpreted under Linux.
• Mirror them under Windows.
• Identify every changse to the protocol under Linux that would need to be ported under Windows to officially move everything on a par with the current protocol version (0x00000111).
