If we ask maintainers to modify the code of their application using
libusb-0.1 we should just tell the to use libusb-1.0 directly.

The goal of libusb-compat is to allow "unmaintained" applications
using the libusb-0.1 API to benefit from libusb-1.0 with no code
change. We should not break this "contract".

So I think the best is to keep the resource leak and avoid crashes.
