Comment(by michaelld@…):

 So, I did a 'grep' on Portfiles, and it looks like the others that use
 libusb-legacy are libmtp and amarok (indirectly via libmtp).  Both of
 these can be made to work using libusb-compat, so it's really just GNU
 Radio that needs libusb-legacy at this point.  I'm updating GNU Radio from
 3.2.2 to 3.3.0, testing the changes over the weekend, and checking
 everything in early next week.  I'd really like to have the usrp port
 working at the same time as these checkins, and thus to have libusb-legacy
 using a different library name so-as to not use the compat library (as per
 my prior example).  Given the no other port even uses libusb-legacy, and
 it's completely out of the way from other port's installs, and is
 "openmaintainer", I see changing the library name as a non-issue.  If I
 haven't heard otherwise by early next week when I'm checking in GR 3.3.0,
 I'm going to go ahead with this augmentation -- along with a "notes" about
 this change for anyone outside MacPorts who's using it (if any).
