As far as I understand, this finds the first BULK endpoints in both 
directions, and verifies that their addresses are MSG_EP_NUM and 
IN_EP_NUM. Because both of these happen to equal 1, I suppose this 
indeed checks the right thing. But am I right that this won't work if 
either MSG_EP_NUM or IN_EP_NUM have a value that isn't 1? Not that I 
think that will ever happen, but still.

Given that you've added this function, why isn't it used in 
xillyusb_setup_base_eps()?
