Well, the current check for PCAP_SUPPORT_USB is $host_os == linux;  usb
sniffig is assumed supported on every linux version. This is rasonable
since all we need is open(2), read(2), and close(2) support. 

To tell the truth, a recent kernel version is required, but we can
compile the library on an host with a old kernel, then use it on a more
recent one, where usbmon is available, so I think those latter guards
are not necessary. 

Best regards,

Paolo
