This has now happened, and I have updated garden.seeedstudio.com/index.php?title=Dfu-util with the new syntax. As you can see there, the new code uses libusb 1.0. It would be nice if someone on Mac OS X can confirm that the build instructions are correct.
BTW, this code will soon go into the official dfu-tool version 0.5, so that it will be available through normal distributions.
