o Use DCE compliant UUID functions and provide local
implementations if they don't exist,
o Move dumping of the map to show.c and print the
partition type,
o Some cleanups and rearrangements.
The default GPT partition type is UFS. When no starting block
or size are specified, the tool will create a partition in the
first free space it find (or that fits, depending on the size).
result of an incomplete migration. An incomplete migration is

GPT. This early in the game it's more convenient to allow the
inconsistency, because that avoids that we have to destroy the
MBR partitioning for now.
but is useful to have handy. EFI GPT partitions are used instead of the
fdisk+disklabel combination. They are pure 64 bit LBA, are fully
extensible, support up to 16383 partitons per disk, etc.
