It's not POSIX, but the UUID interface we expect is specified by OSF DSE 1.1
according to the man page.  So it seems to be standardised.

As I said, if you can send a sane patch, that would be cool.  I don't have
access to FreeBSD, and I don't really have time to make space and install
it right now.

Not sure a configure argument is needed - we should be able to just probe
for each interface and use whichever we find.
