[PATCH 0/2] Improve standalone libvolume_id installation

[Dan Nicholson <dbn.lists@gmail.com>]

Hi Kay,

Sometimes it's desirable to install just libvolume_id instead of all of
udev. This is to support external programs depending on this library.
Currently, it's difficult to untangle the libvolume_id build from the
rest of udev.

There are two situations where this has come up that seemed important
to me.

 * GNOME jhbuild/garnome adding the external HAL dependency used in
   many programs and not knowing how to handle HAL's dependency on
   libvolume_id. I'm sure David can tell you the flames he endured.

   http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2006-September/msg00268.html

   They've since solved that problem (I think), but it could have been
   much easier.

 * The mount programs from util-linux-ng can now use libvolume_id.

For distros, this isn't really a problem since you can just Require:
libvolume_id-devel, but for common folk it could be much easier.
