 USB_ModeSwitch is (surprise!) a mode switching tool for controlling "flip
 flop" (multiple device) USB gear.

 Several new USB devices (especially high-speed WAN stuff, based on cell
 phone chipsets containing that feature) have their MS Windows drivers
 onboard; when plugged in for the first time they act like a flash storage
 and start installing the driver from there. After installation (and on
 every consecutive plugging) the driver switches the mode internally, the
 storage device vanishes (in most cases), and a new device (like an USB
 modem) shows up. Modem maker "Option" calls that feature "ZeroCD (TM)"
 since it eliminates the need for shipping a separate driver carrier.
