Comment:

 I've tried updating the port to 0.14.0 and that didn't fix it.
 hidapi_darwin.h is still not installed. I discovered the cause is that we
 are using the autotools build system. If we switch to the cmake build
 system, the header is installed. I reported this deficiency to the
 developers and they [https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/issues/620 will not
 fix it] because the autotools build system is deprecated. Meanwhile,
 switching to cmake has other problems, such as that
 [https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/issues/622 the library version number
 will regress], which means we would have to revbump every port that links
 with libhidapi. I'd rather not do that, so I'll submit a PR that updates
 the port to 0.14.0, still using autotools, and manually copies in this
 header.
