markd 5efb745928 Initial import libblkid 2.18
The libblkid library is used to identify block devices (disks) as to their
content (e.g. filesystem type) as well as extracting additional information
such as filesystem labels/volume names, unique identifiers/serial numbers, etc.
A common use is to allow use of LABEL= and UUID= tags instead of hard-coding
specific block device names into configuration files.
