There were some issues when using libftdi 0.x recently that are fixed
when switching to libftdi 1.x (not really worth the effort to investigate).
libftdi 1.x has been around several years now and should be available
in most recent distros and OSes. For the rare cases where it is not,
it's easy enough to get it via backport packages, or build from source,
or sigrok users can just use our binary installers for most OSes.
This also "fixes"/obsoletes bug #959.
zip_discard() was introduced in libzip 0.11, which some systems
do not have yet. Provide a fallback replacement for zip_discard(),
and reduce the requirement to libzip 0.10 again.
This fixes bug #674.
By avoiding g_slist_copy_deep() for now, we can easily allow libsigrok
to build against glib 2.32 (less hassle for users of stable/older
distros or OSes).
This driver is neither working nor has it been in a compiling state for
a long time, so unhook it from the build until it is fixed and works.
The files (api.c and protocol.[ch]) are still in git, but won't end up in
released tarballs and they don't get built (neither git nor tarballs).
This also allows us to drop the otherwise unneeded dependency on libudev.
When the MSO-19 driver comes back, it should be in a form that doesn't
require the inherently Linux-only libudev anyway. See also:
http://sigrok.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65
This gets us the libusb version checking mechanism itself, hopefully
making this sort of thing easier in future.
Also hotplug, device tree traversal, and lots of fixes.
We now use zip_int64_t and zip_get_num_entries() for example, which
requires at least libzip 0.10. This version was released in 03/2012,
which is old enough that we don't necessarily have to do a work-around
for older versions. Thus, simply bump the requirement to >= 0.10.
These two drivers are currently unfinished and don't work, so disable
and "unhook" them for now in preparation of the next libsigrok release.
They're still in the git repository, but not hooked up to the build
system, so that they won't get detected or built, and also don't end up
in the release tarball.
Since link-mso19 is the only driver that currently requires libudev,
drop any reference to that, too.
It should be relatively easy to apply this patch in reverse after the
release to bring back both drivers.

This adds a suite of unit tests for libsigrok. It uses the 'Check'
tool/library (apt-get install check) to run the tests.
The configure tool tries to find libcheck. If it succeeds, a
"make check" will run all tests. Otherwise, none of the tests will
be built and "make check" will not run any tests.
This also means that users who don't have 'check' installed will still
be able to build and install libsigrok just fine.
We'll have a libsigrok and a libsigrokdecode release soon. After that,
any API changes must be properly documented and reflected in the
SO version (and package version) numbers of the libs.
Use SR_API to mark public API symbols, and SR_PRIV for private symbols.
Variables and functions marked 'static' are private already and don't
need SR_PRIV. However, functions which are not static (because they need
to be used in other libsigrok-internal files) but are also not meant to
be part of the public libsigrok API, must use SR_PRIV.
This uses the 'visibility' feature of gcc (requires gcc >= 4.0).
