The lsscsi utility is in a package by itself. It is Linux specific and
does sysfs datamining so it does not need:
    - root access,
    - to issue SCSI commands, nor
    - any support from libsgutils

Adding JSON complicates that picture a little as I use a slightly modified
https://github.com/json-parser/json-builder (license: BSD-2-Clause) in
sg3_utils. Smaller bits of libsgutils have been spun off (e.g.
sg_unaligned.h is used as-is in smartmontools) and I will probably do
something similar for JSON support in lsscsi.
