Awesome, thanks for the work.  :-)

Well, the build issue still bites jhbuild until there is either a
separate libvolume_id tarball or someone gets similar hacks into
jhbuild (or some other fix/workaround is found).  James appears to be
uneasy with trying to use current udev tarballs, judging from his
previous email in this thread.  Anyway, we also need to work that out
before bumping the requirement.
