Hi,

Here is a patch for the rosdep.yaml for OSX for lib-usb.

I tried to compile this on my Mac and it failed complaining:  ld: library not found for -lrosthread. I haven't heard of that library before.

It is intended to be cross-platform (Mac, potentially Windows) and to enable ROS driver features that are not available through Video4Linux. Examples include more accurate timestamps; lower, more predictable latency; and efficient monitoring of camera-controlled parameters (e.g., exposure time).
