Description:
After upgrading to version 1:6.3-5, it's not possible to use avrdude with an AVR Dragon programmer. avrdude shows this message when trying to communicate with AVR Dragon:

avrdude was compiled without usb support.

Going back to version 1:6.3-4 allows the use of AVR Dragon.

Steps to reproduce:
* Update avrdude to version 1:6.3-5.
* Execute the following (no need for an actual AVR Dragon programmer):

$ avrdude -c dragon_isp -p atmega8

This message appears:

avrdude was compiled without usb support.

avrdude done. Thank you.
This task depends upon

stk500v2.c at least does not support libusb only libusb-compat.

Same issue here with the OLIMEX AVR-ISP-MK2. Downgraded to get it working again. Have both libusb and libusb-compat installed.

I have both libusb and libusb-compat installed too:

$ pacman -Qsq libusb
libgusb
libusb
libusb-compat
libusbmuxd

Having libusb-compat installed is not enough. The functionality is disabled at build time see [1]

I can confirm avrdude still heavily targets libusb 0.1 so libusb-compat is a necessary dependency. Removing it from the depends list breaks support for most USB programmers.

The same problem with AVR Dragon here as well.
Version 1:6.3-4 works.
