I just found that while it is possible to get blkid on OS X, it is
in 1.0.0 version which doesn't have blkid_probe_get function.
I'm examining whether it is possible to get an updated version there,
but right now, this patch breaks OS X support. Unfortunately I didn't
noticed of this before, as the OS X port was terribly out of date.

So this patch shouldn't be included until I find how to get around.

Cheers,
Jan
