Yes, this idea sounds good. Applied.

One question about the patch:

You also removed the explicit linking of libusb from the pkconfig file.
Since libusb 1.0 supports pkgconfig and we have it in
the "Requires:" section, that should be fine.

pkgconfig documentation:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/pkg-config-guide.html

I just wanted to explicitly mention it on the mailinglist,
in case someone thinks it's a bad idea for whatever reason :)
