Description
src/utils/sixpair.c is the only component of this codebase that is still using the deprecated libusb 0.1 API. Porting it to libusb-1.0 would allow dropping this dependency, and in turn make psmoveapi easier to package (as the 0.1 compat layer is also considered deprecated and in the process of being removed from distributions).

Research direction
Start with src/utils/sixpair.c and inspect how it uses the deprecated libusb 0.1 API, then review the project’s build and packaging configuration for this utility. Port the component to libusb-1.0 and verify that the libusb 0.1 compatibility dependency can be removed without breaking the utility or its build.
