If the only feature in 1.1 that you care about is enumeration, then you 
might as well target 1.0.  The only difference in this case will be in 
initialization -- for 1.0, you'll want to ask for the enumeration 
extension and then make use of it if found.  If the extension doesn't 
exist (as will happen under Linux right now), then just open the default 
(NULL) device and your app will still work.

If you do things as described above (using 1.0), you can run on both 
Windows and Linux right now, and automatically take advantage of 
enumeration on Linux as soon as it is added.
