Deprecating libusb-0.1 it's a huge task, a lot of software still depends
on it (and the API is quite different), beside the fact it is almost 
unmaintained upstream.

Last time I tried libusb-compat was not the same quality as libusb-0.1,
it introduced more problem than it solved. Maybe it has changed in the
meanwhile.
