Hi

I have no personal opinion on enabling scsi driver and it's not a 
problem for me if it's built by default, but one could imagine some 
users who want to build the smallest hatari binary possible (running on 
rasperry pi for example), and in that case even if libudev is found you 
might want to not enable the scsi driver part to keep the program as 
small as possible.
That's where a global switch in configure / cmake could be handy.
