Upgrade to libusb v1.0.3 and introduce libusb-compat

Upgrade libusb to v1.0.3.

Add new libusb-compat package for compatibility with old packages.

Switch to using AUTOTARGETS while we're at it.

I'm not certain that libusb-compat-0.1.3-pkgconfig.patch is essential
but it doesn't seem to do any harm.

Also update usb_modeswitch to depend on libusb-compat rather than
libusb.

Move milestone to 2010.05 since enhancements will not be handled before the release of 2010.02.

Should be handled by the merge of http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-April/033242.html. Peter, could you please close this bug when the branch will be merged ? Thanks!

Thanks Mike for working on this patch. It seems that usb_modeswitch is available as a newer version (1.1.1), but this version only contains the variant of usb_modeswitch that relies on udev and tcl. Do you have any interest in this version ?

I have no interest in usb_modeswitch at all. I just patched its makefile to make sure that it continued to compile after the rest of my changes were applied.
