And if we do, and it's a simple issue of not using multiple lines vs 
requiring everybody to upgrade, we'll use a single line, because this is 
called helping our users and provding software that strightforward to 
use, rather than polishing our navel with the shiniest configure.ac ever.

The only people that are affected by using a single line are us. Even if 
we meet the same issue in the future, at most us+1 (one user will report 
it, we'll fix it the same way, and move on).
The people that are affected by not using a single line is everybody who 
has a slightly old version of autotools.

Somehow, the logic of ensuring that our users have difficulties building 
libusb, when it takes less than 30 seconds (and 30 seconds next time 
around, and 30 seconds the time after that...) to ensure that they don't 
is completely alien to me.
