UsbDK depends on a few patches for libusb that are not merged yet and
I don't think they will be merged on time for the next
mingw-virt-viewer release.

The main problem is that those patches depend on the libusb patches
mentioned above.

WebCams are not supported by usbclerk.

When the patches get merged we will update the mingw-libusb and
mingw-spice-gtk packages.
You will be able to build mingw-virt-viewer by yourself (and we will
be happy to help you). But I wouldn't expect a new release of
virt-viewer just because of these patches.
