This is nice idea.
The file ~/.libuuid_clock.txt should be the default ;-), and we can
extend __uuid_generate_time() to accept the clock file path as
argument. This function is called by uuidd, so the path will be fully
controlled by the daemon, then we can add --clock-state <path> to
overwrite /var/lib/uuidd/clock.txt.
This concept means that we do not have to care about uid at all and
the library (without uuidd) will not try to use any shared directory.
