I just forked libusbx on github and tried to build it.  README.git says "run 
either ./autogen.sh or ./bootstrap.sh" but both result in:

libtoolize or glibtoolize was not found! Please install libtool.

autotools used to be part of Xcode, but was removed as of 4.3 (March 2012).

Other than finding and installing 'libtoolize', is there another way to build? 

One solution would be to support CMake.  Another would be to include an Xcode 
project, just like Visual Studio projects are currently included.

As CMake can build Xcode projects, VS projects (of various versions), and 
makefiles, it seems like it would be much less maintance.

Personally I much prefer CMake to autotools, but of course everything has its 
pros and cons.  Is there something CMake doesn't support that libusbx needs?

Cheers,
