There are newer versions of libuuid and libblkid available in util-linux-ng. It includes also the blkid and uuidgen binaries.
As a newer version was a requirement for some other updated tool, I changed the .in files to switch over to these new libs. Ideally there should be stand-alone packages for both libraries, but I couldn't find stand-alone sources yet. To ease later migration I added .in configs for both libs to select the right packages. So packages can select just (HOST_) LIBUUID or LIBBLKID as depends. The old code in e2fsprogs is commented out, so mixed installation of libs and binaries from both e2fsprogs and util-linux.ng is avoid. Internal libs are disabled by autoconf for e2fsprogs.
