Some nice people put a bash-only version of a UUID generator up on
serverfault.  So here is a first stab:

Sorry about the diff; my github-fu is currently zero.  Also sorry
about fixing the ancient typo in RunInstall; could not resist.

I can't test this until I have a new box to install; feel free to play
with it or ignore me until I follow up with a "confirmed working" mail.
