Hi Martin,

versions of FreeBSD 8 and newer ship with a libusb compatible API in the
base system. Thus it is not necessary (and not possible) to install
libusb (any version) and thus there is no libusb-x.y.pc package config file.

Detecting libusb presence on FreeBSD requires a different approach
(especially as the older 7.x version does have a libusb-0.1 package).
Currently I'm using this:
