I don't understand your reasoning.  What do you precisely mean by
'remove the PATH_MAX'?  Since you were talking about applications not
even using the result I assumed you meant something like

	char filename[1];

but then once compiled this way, these applications won't work even if
after that we provide a libusb that works.  Or did you mean one of the
solutions I proposed?  (e.g. LIBUSB_PATH_MAX)

Not necessarily so probable.  See how long it took to get rid of gtk
1.2.
