[coldsync-hackers] coldsync cant open connection

[chris <reddaemon at shaw dot ca>]

hi i have been unable to get coldsync working. i installed the coldsync
package provided by freebsd but attempts to use it result in

Error: USB support not enabled
Error: Can't open connection

i tried to compile coldsync by hand to see if i could get a working
version but i am having installation troubles.

one problem is with configure. it prints

checking for BSD USB support... no

despite usb support being available. this patch makes configure work
correctly

ive also included a patch to make PConnection_usb.c compile. find it
below.

i dont know how to fix the following error. i was hoping someone could
help me here.
