Yes - when I find time.

Yes - several. I like V-USB (old now):
* http://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/index.html

Some projects I have built with it:
* https://gnosia.anu.edu.au/wiki/CryptoKey
* https://gnosia.anu.edu.au/wiki/USBClockIt
* https://gnosia.anu.edu.au/wiki/DiavUSBadc

A list of (some) projects other have built using V-USB:
* https://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/projects.html
(one of my favourites is: 
http://imakeprojects.com/Projects/haunted-usb-cable/ )

I have also done work with LUFA:
* http://www.fourwalledcubicle.com/LUFA.php
with the Cypress CY7C68013 style microcontrollers with built-in USB,
and, of course, some projects with the ubiquitous ATmega32U4.

cheers,
Bob Edwards.
