If you don't, it builds fine, but somewhat pointlessly (who has a
parallel port these days?  I've got alot of old dongles to give away
;)

I think Ted's nailed the issue.  This neatly explains why urjtag
builds fine with libftdi-0.10, and OOCD doesn't, it wasn't really a
make issue at all - configure wasn't placing the right data in the
makefiles since the test failed.  As an aside, I can vouch that OOCD
does appear to run on top of libftdi-0.10, since I've been using it
that way (with my make tweaks) for several months.

It's about to be a moot issue, apparently, since I hear we'll
(FreeBSD) be bumping to libftdi-0.14 this month, so don't do to much
work on my account, now that we know the problem isn't what I thought.
