The gethostuuid() system call is used only by the OS-X "proxy locking"
VFS, which provides better performance across network filesystems.
This VFS that was written at Apple and contributed to the SQLite
source tree.  (We have copyright releases signed by Apple lawyers in
our firesafe.)  The proxy-locking VFS is important for OS-X, we are
told, because many applications store SQLite databases in the user's
home directory, and many OS-X users like to have their home
directories NSF-mounted.
