The intention is to have
/usr/(local/)/include/ftdi.h for 0.1
/usr/(local/)/include/libftdi-1.0/ftdi.h for 1.0
/usr/(local/)/include/libftdi-x.x/ftdi.h for x.x for later versions
and have
#include <ftdi.h>
#include<libftdi-1.0/ftdi.h>
#include<libftdi-x.x/ftdi.h>
For the two latter cases,
#include<libftdi-1.0/libftdi.h>
#include<libftdi-x.x/libftdi.h>
would also be fine, but i.m.h.o. bring no advantage.
