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.

> 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.
