Ghost is included with the 2.0 SDK - http://mindstorms.lego.com/sdk2
NQC USB support is different on every platform. For platforms that Lego

would have to install one set of drivers for NQC, and another for RIS

Mac OS 9 - Lego driver via Ghost
Mac OS X - custom USB code within NQC
Linux - custom 3rd party work, not in the main NQC distro yet
