While I'm not against adding libraries to the mingw64 toolchains -- in fact, I have a number of them in Ports -- is that really your intention?

The libhidapi package on Ubuntu is > marked as 0.8.0-rc1 [2], should I follow this convention? 0.8.0-rc1 is the latest tag ("release") in git, so if you want that: VERSION=0.8.0-rc1 ...
