The reason I used libuuid is because that's what Apple uses (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier).  It was easy
enough to wrap it.  I guess we could have either fallback code for people
without libuuid (in which case I'd need to create a configure script) or
just completely get rid of the dependency.  Any opinions?
