1. Are the things you compile/link against on Windows and Mac guaranteed to exist? (ie, do I only need to find libuuid on Linux platforms)

2. What should happen if I *don't* find it? Can the UUID code be made optional at compile time? Would that mean we need a ZORBA_WITH_UUID or something like that? Or, do we have a hard requirement on libuuid and the build should fail without it?

It does appear that on Ubuntu, at least, libuuid comes from the package "libuuid1", which is part of the "minimal" Task and is depended on by some pretty low-level packages such as util-linux and e2fsprogs. It's not clear to me whether it's at all possible to have a functional Linux/Ubuntu system without libuuid existing. So maybe it's OK to assume it will always be there.
