Comment(by mail@…):

 So basically i see 3 possible solutions:

 1. We remove the dependency to libusb: everyone can build libdc1394 with
 some features turned off when there is no libusb installed before
 libdc1394.The user has the choice of installing either libusb or libusb-
 devel before libdc1394.

 2. We set the dependency to libusb: all users of the kinect will be very
 unhappy and have to build ouside macports.

 3. We set the dependency to libusb-devel: kinect users will be happy, all
 people which use a port depending on libusb will be unhappy.

 I personally favor solution 1 :). If that is OK for everyone, i will
 change the port to this setting...

 :q! Uwe
