We are still talking about FreeBSD 8.x here, there IS NO libusb-1.0!

The pointer you sent tells about FreeBSD 8.x using libusb-2.0 as it
was developed from libusb-1.0 and that projects should run under FreeBSD
8.x if developed elsewhere using libusb-1.0.

I got the tarball and tried to build it under FreeBSD 7.4 in case it
would do better than libusb-0.1 but the configure says "unsupported OS".
Probably does that under 8.2 but I haven't got that far.


Since FreeBSD has /usr/lib/libusb.a, /usr/lib/libusb.so, etc., they should
be used by normal cmake instead of demanding libusb-1.0 from outside.
