Well, it's hard to argue with that position ;-).  But I'll try anyway:
the platform-provided version of the library will be updated for bug
fixes, compatibility rebuilds, etc.  Your private copy won't be, unless
you remember to do it.  Eventually that's gonna bite ya.

Of course the best fix would be for EDB to ship a build of Postgres
that actually follows the platform-standard naming convention for this
library.  I'm still wondering why they're linking to libuuid.so.
Dave?
