It is dumb ot have stable/devel versions for everything, what software is that? If it's this one exception, maybe it'd be better to bundle in the libusb devel source and it build it statically just for that case? As ugly as it sounds, it may be preferred if it's just 1 exception. Since it only seems to be in CVS, who knows, they may keep changing the API, and different software may use different versions, so what are we going to do then, have 5 copies in the tree? Just a thought..
