You do not need to install the legacy libusb-0.1 under Mac OS X.
You just need to use the libusb-compat. libusb-0.1 is no longer
maintained under Linux and Mac OS X but libusb-compat is
still maintained.

I think no need to drop since libusb-compat is still maintained.
On the other hand, since libusb-compat is based on libusb-1.0
so you have a point as well for pyusb.
