Is libusb-1 absolutely required?

Some platform (like FreeBSD) implement the libusb-0.x API as a native
library.  I don't think libusb-1.x has been ported for them at all.

Anyway, things like that could be solved by a configure option (like
--enable-ftdi), and the configure script could also verify it's got a
recent enough libftdi to work with.

OK, no need to worry.  AVRDUDE 5.11 will mostly become a bugfix
release anyway.
