I myself am not against this patch. But the official stand of the
libusb.org maintainer (Peter Stuge) is against using this method,
rather he suggests using pkg-config to avoid manually specifying
libusb-1.0 header file directory.

Under native Windows build using MinGW (or MinGW-w64), you may
still need to manually specify the include directory though. Or you
need to use pkg-config-lite or things like that.

I myself tend to use CMake-GUI if using native Windows MinGW build
and specify the libusb-1.0 (or libusbx) include directory and lib manually.
