Yes this works. Thanks.

I think you misunderstood my OpenOCD example. I mean
OpenOCD's "bootstrap" is one example that you do not
run configure after running the auto-tools.

But since your suggestion works. I do not have a strong opinions
about this any more.

On the other hand, I also like your toggle able logging option.
I considered this as a bug of libusb-1.0 since  libusb_set_debug()
does not seem to work without --enable-debug-log but Daniel
dismissed it last time I checked with him.
