Now I'm confused, isn't libusb-compat here to guarantee backwards 
compatibility to libusb-0.10.x if libusb-1.x is installed?

I'm trying to put a buildroot environment together yhat includes libusb-1.0.8 
but is backwards compatible to libusb-0.1.12 to get the pywws driver 
(http://pywws.googlecode.com/) for the weather station to work.
I seeminly got troubles to get it to work in our little embedded environment 
but I can establish communication using my desktop PC that's running on 
Kubuntu 11.10 (kernel 3.0.0) which was built using libusb-1.0.0.
