I'm having trouble using this crate (or rather, ethers-rs ledger support which depends on summa-tx/coins, which depends on this)

I'm compiling a cross-platform binary (windows, linux, macos), and the macos binary fails to run because it is dynamically linked to libusb.

Now, I don't know much about USB itself. from studying this crate's code, my interpretation is that macos only uses libhidapi.a, and libusb is only used for linux & illumos.

so I'd guess the problem is that macos is unnecessarily linking to libusb.
It could also be that it does indeed use it, in which case I'd like to find a way to statically link it, which probably involves a chance in this crate

Would appreciate any pointers. happy to do the heavy lifting myself
