Major correction. dbus-uuidgen is supposed to be run from the
bootscripts according to NEWS and it is not run during `make install'
at all. Here's that info:

- dbus-uuidgen --ensure is now run in the init script so there is no need to
  run it in a post script
- dbus-uuidgen now writes out to /var/lib/dbus to work with systems that do not
  have a writable /etc. Packages should install and own the /var/lib/dbus
  directory

Here's what the RedHat bootscript does:

start() {
    echo -n $"Starting system message bus: "
    if [ -x @EXPANDED_BINDIR@/dbus-uuidgen ] ; then
        @EXPANDED_BINDIR@/dbus-uuidgen --ensure
    fi
...

So, it looks like we'll have to fix up the bootscript a bit for 1.0.2.
