I tried to get newer blkid on OSX, but so far without a big success 
(well, it looks like a kind of a small dependency hell that would 
have to be ported, with bigger or smaller effort...). With regards 
on the priorities, I think if we can make the OS X support in 
"manual patching required" way, then? 

So lets include this patch, and just note it OS X doc "you have to revert
commit XXX and re-apply any changes to the relevant code"?
