Now it is complaining that usbutils is needed even though it is an 
optional dependency:

-------------------------------------
checking for LIBUSB... yes
checking for USBUTILS... configure: error: Package requirements 
(usbutils >= 0.82) were not met:

No package 'usbutils' found
-------------------------------------

After selecting to use the optional dependency usbutils, udev builds 
without further problem, so, it looks like libusb-compat needs to be 
added as a dependency, usbutils needs to be made a required dependency, 
and the udev developers taken out and flogged for making things required 
that are not otherwise needed in many instances.
