Ken Giusti resolved PROTON-902.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
A better approach is to avoid the libuuid dependency completely and use
Flavio's uuid4 implementation.
Let's open a new JIRA to track that.
> Make dependency on libuuid optional

>
> The current proton-c version depends on libuuid for, well, generating uuids.
> The unfortunate thing of this dependency is that it's currently just required
> by the messenger and it's just being used for building the messengers name.
> It's really unfortunate to require this library and headers to be present for
> such a small case.
> It'd be possible to make this dependency optional by adding a built-in uuid4
> generator that'd be enabled whenever libuuid is not around.
