 There are a number of trouble tickets for libusb on Mac - see, for example
 [http://www.libusb.org/ticket/31 here].

 Most importantly, it is impossible to use libusb via MacPorts to hack a
 Microsoft Kinect as per [http://openkinect.org/wiki/Getting_Started here].

 I've collected the latest dev-stable-ish version of libusb (checking
 carefully for all darwin-related changes) and added the required patch. As
 far as I can test and read in the source, this does '''not''' disrupt
 programs that require libusb as the API has not changed since the official
 1.0.8.

 I would therefore ask the maintainers to consider revbumping to the
 attached version so that we can hack on the kinect at will.
