I think you are probably right. libusb-1.0 and libusbx are relatively
new to OpenBSD and NetBSD users. I agree with you we will need
to depend on users on OpenBSD/NetBSD to improve the support
of libusbx under these two operating systems.

On the other hand, OpenBSD users will use their ports system which
now follows libusb.org and not libusbx. There are two patches which
I will take a look at the patches since I think they are relevant to
libusbx as well.
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/devel/libusb1/patches/

And take note the warning only happens under NetBSD and not
OpenBSD. NetBSD users will most likely use pkgsrc system which
has ports for libusbx (libusbx-1.0.11) and libusb-1.0.
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/libusbx/
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/libusb1/

It seems to me now OpenBSD and NetBSD users are still
most likely use libusb-1.0.9 with a few patches and not
libusbx.
