Kind of related to this, the unreleased development version of avrdude
in the Subversion repository supports linking with hidapi [1].
By accessing the programmer as a HID device instead of using libusb, no
special system configuration or kernel extensions are required.
There was an announcement by Joerg on this list:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2016-02/msg00030.html
I compiled the development version of avrdude myself, linked against
hidapi-devel from MacPorts and it works fine for me on macOS 10.12
Sierra with the target being an ATmega328PB Xplained Mini board.
