Is a configure-level switch all that you need?  I hadn't done a
make-level switch because I was trying to avoid adding a requirement
of using GNU make in building e2fsprogs, since it gets used by *BSD
and Solaris systems as well.  (And in fact some of the recent UUID bug
fixes come from FreeBSD bug reports, and I suspect FreeBSD will
continue to use UUID library from e2fsprogs rather than pulling in
util-linux-ng....)
