Well, if you leave us no other alternative, then I guess my vote will be 
for option 2, especially as we have had issues with trying to keep the 
libusb and libusbx APIs in sync in the past and we are a fork.

For the record, we will keep the LIBUSBX_API_VERSION macro in future 
versions (though we may decrease it in 1.0.14 if we do a revert), 
therefore the workaround we provide for bMaxPower and 1.0.13 will still 
work should you want to to apply it _temporarily_ to alleviate the 
1.0.13 blowback you seem to be getting.

Note that if we release 1.1, we will not be able to ensure compatibility 
with libusb, when/if libusb releases 1.1, as this will become a pure 
libusb matter then.

Regards,
