[Lcdproc] Compiling drivers with and without USB support

Hi,

	I'm working on cross-compiling lcdproc for an embedded distribution, 
and as such would like to try to save a bit of space. What I'm trying to 
do is to compile drivers that have optional usb-support twice (with and 
without USB), so that the user has the option of not installing the 
USB-driver unless necessary. The reason for this is that the usb-enabled 
drivers automatically pull in libusb, which pulls in libstdc++. 
Obviously, libstdc++ isn't something you want installed on a embedded 
system unless  it's necessary. I tried looking at the Makefile stuff for 
the drivers, but I can't make heads or tails of the autotools stuff. Can 
anyone help me a bit on reworking the Makefile so it builds eg. 
hd44780.so and hd44780usb.so?

Thanks,
