Release/RC checklist

• Update libusb/version.h. If RC, set LIBUSB_RC to "-rc1", etc.
• Update NEWS (and additionally TODO/THANKS)
• Update AUTHORS and make sure anybody listed with the following is present:

 git shortlog -s | cut -c8-

• Run ./autogen.sh
• Run make distcheck
• Run make docs-upload in the docs directory
• Test the release tarball
• Add released version to trac (Ticket System -> versions) and set that version as default
• If any bugs were pending actual release, close them
• Set the trac version milestone in the roadmap as completed
• Upload the snapshot(s) (if not automated) and make sure the source tarball is set as the default download
• Update the project's web page if needed
• Check that the SourceForge tarball download actually works
• Send a release notification to libusbx-devel, libusb-devel and linux-usb
