Problem with _WIN32 preprocessor symbol and libusb

The libusb package uses the presence of _WIN32 to determine which calling convention to use for the library externals - if _WIN32 is defined it uses WINAPI. [See /usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h.] There is of course the question of whether it is/was sensible to use WINAPI when the package is comp
