[hpsdr] Penelope Firmware Upgrade: "Programming hardware cable not detected"

[Jack Speer]

Here is what I just did to work around (but not fix) the 
problem.  Instead of using my Windows 7 desktop, I did the firmware 
update on the Windows XP laptop that I programmed the Mercury board 
on.  Worked just fine.  Can't figure that one out, maybe I missed 
using "Run as Administrator" at some point on the Win7 machine and it 
silently failed.
