Well, my first thought was simply to drop the libftdi support because
of the additional dependency it pulls (libusb-compat):
- with dependency on libftdi:
  arvdude -> libftdi -> libusb-compat -> libusb
- with dependency on libftdi1:
  arvdude -> libftdi1 -> libusb

Note that, the configure script uses libftdi1 (if found) in priority
over libftdi.
