Yea, it would be nice if --version would tell.

Here is a way to tell though.

pilot-link version 0.12.3 built without libusb:

$ pilot-xfer -p usb: -l
    Unable to bind to port: usb:
    Please use --help for more information

Pilot-link doesn't understand the syntax, tries to use "usb:" as a port 
and fails.

pilot-link version 0.12.3 built with libusb:

$pilot-xfer -p usb: -l

    Listening for incoming connection on usb:...

Here pilot-link understands and does its thing.

Yes.  In fact you have to install AddressDB at least once if you want to 
use the legacy database name.  If you don't it won't exist, only 
ContactsDB will.
