Hi,

Marc-André, Christophe, thanks for the reviews!

Marc-André, Christophe reviewed my usb device selection widget patches,
but he wanted a second opinion before I push them, so could you
please take a look?

Josh Bressers has been so kind to review the usb-acl-helper for possible
security issues. One of his recomendations was to harden the usb-acl-helper
by building it as a Position Independent Executable.

I'd add
else; if "x$enable_pie" = "xyes"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([pie requested but not
supported by the C compiler]); fi

otherwise yes/auto are the same.


Ah yes I already noticed that myself and I was planning on fixing it, but 
didn't.
I've fixed this before pushing.

Thanks & Regards,

Hans
