Description: usbutils    This is a collection of USB tools for use on Linux and BSD systems\
 to query what type of USB devices are connected to the system. This is to be run on a USB host\
  (i.e. a machine you plug USB devices into), not on a USB device (i.e. a device you plug into a USB host.) # human-readable description

github doesn't allow .pc.in files so above is the file contents. I placed it in the top folder.

If you want to make this pkgconfig file then replace these lines into your configure.ac and you are finished!

AC_CONFIG_FILES([
    usbutils.pc
    Makefile
])

Above is a proposed usbutils.pc.in package-config configuration file to be included. I made it because the udev copy I am using requires configure.ac looks for a usbutils.pc file for some creepy hidden variable looking....

Adopt or ignore at your leisure.

Cheers!

Can you turn this into a normal patch and submit it that way so I can easily accept it? Otherwise trying to cut/paste from a github issue is almost impossible...

Now merged.
