avrftdi requires now libftdi-1.0. I don't know why it detected your libftdi-0.x 
as -1.x.

Which is not necessary, since avrftdi requires libftdi-1.0 and libftdi-1.0 
declares TYPE_232H. This masks an error, where libftdi-0.x is erroneously 
recognized as libftdi-1.0.
I made the change to libftdi-1.0 because I want to use asynchronous transfers 
in the future. Plus libftdi-0.x has not been updated since 9 months, so I 
consider it deprecated. Oh and testing two library versions is too much work ;)

One real problems remains: libftdi-1.0 and libftdi-0.x co-installation, which 
breaks avrftdi. The clean solution would be to merge all programmers to 
libftdi-1.0.
