Not quite sure where upstream is located as the old one was on Google Code.
But I came across patches to switch to libusb 1.0 on github, check out
<URL: https://github.com/PeterNSteinmetz/libnxt/compare/master...xerpi:addKernelDetach >.
I guess the relevant parts should be extracted and sent upstream. The task should
be straight forward for a C programmer: (1) track down upstream and (2) extract
libusb 1.0 related part of the patch in the URL above and (3) submit it upstream
and ask for a new release with libusb 1.0 support.
