serial, ps/2, parallel, etc.  Anyways, I thought that the real point of
the dialog was to decide whether or not to present the moused config
dialog.  The choice to enable usbd should be made in the dialog that
lets you set the other rc.conf variables, with the default being 'yes'
(I think that even David can agree that usb is ubiquious these days =-).
Looking back, I guess I like Doug's original proposal.
