[sane-devel] Backends configure can't find libusb

[m. allan noah]

i'm not sure, but that 'lib' in the location of usb.h looks odd to me.
i doubt that sane's configure is looking for it there. try moving it
to /usr/include (or rebuild the libusb package to put it there), or
perhaps set CPPFLAGS env var before you build.
