I see.  So it requires some device serialization if you want to use 
multiple identical devices, which is OK.

Probably what I would do (for one particular project on the back burner) 
would be to modify it to generate a unique ID on the driver side when a 
device is first enumerated, and store that in EEPROM on the device side. 
  That way you can burn the device PICs identically, but you can still 
tell individual devices apart consistently.
