There is another remaining issue on OS X: the build process always tries
to install files into /lib/udev/rules.d, even when udev is disabled.
However, as /lib does not exist on OS X, the install step fails, unless
you explicitly set the udev rules directory to something else.

I've looked through the autoconf/automake files, but couldn't figure out
how to disable the installation of the rules files when udev is
disabled. Does anyone know how to do this? Until then, the workaround is
"--with-udev-rules-dir=/tmp/udev/rules.d".
