I think it is okay to accept patch 3/3.

pkg-config is the proper way to go.

On the other hand, I think it is actually not that easy to build
all parts of libftdi1 using cross compile. At least I have
not successfully tried that route -- the Boost bindings
and the Python bindings may not be that easy. I usually
build libftdi Windows binaries natively under Windows,
using MinGW/MSys, build libconfuse and Boost from
source, and use CMake-GUI to get everything built.
