There exists two libusb variants, the original one "libusb" [0] and
"libusb-x" [1] a fork of libusb.

The current version of libusb is 1.0.9 and we have indeed 1.0.8. I can
write a patch to bump this version but we have also a crazy patch for
libusb 1.0.8:

`cat patches/libusb-1.0.8/libusb-1.0.1-pkg-config.diff`
Subject: libusb needs librt and libpthread

Add missing dependencies.

Maybe this already fixed in mainline... I will check this.

If you want to use libusb-x you need to generate a new port of this. I
checked it and they using autotools as buildsystem so a new port would
be (hopefully) easy.

But it depends which library you want... libusb or libusbx.
