The scripts are pretty flexible however (basically bash scripts), and I could make a script that simply installs the binary distribution of libusb-win32 into the mingw environment such that it's available to openocd. I don't see that as a particularly bad option, seeing as the binary distributions are officially hosted on sf along with the source.
