[hpsdr] USB Blaster Mode

	I just finished sniffing around in the SVN repository to figure out 
how to upload Mercury firmware and have to say you guys blow me away 
with the usb blaster feature in the OZY. I do own a parallel port 
Quartus programmer I built last year for another project but this is 
sweet !!!!!

The only hitch is, as I did a new install of quartus81, it installed 
the programming directory ( defaults) differently than the repository 
batch file specifies... I edited my copy of the batch file ( annoying 
the SVN integrity which I later fixed by making the batch file a 
custom name and restoring the original) It all worked exactly as 
advertised in the readme docs..

My Hats off  to those responsible/guilty and I do mean that in the 
most respectful and grateful way...  :-)

I consider myself a power user ( I am a commercial radio tech/systems 
enginner by trade) but not one of the inner circle here..

It did not help in my usb scan issue with my atom 330 board.. but 
still looking at that. It works fine on any pairing besides 192k/2048....

Awsome!!!!
