I think we should support 2.4 kernels FWIW.  I'm just waiting for 
someone to send a patch that adds a configure check instead of breaking 
the build for newer kernels.

I think the best way to do it would be to try and detect the right 
header files for usb pass through in configure, and disable usb-linux.c 
entirely if they aren't available.
