[ANN] uuid generator

Hi.

I knocked together a little C extension today with the help of the
guys on the ruby-lang irc channel, it uses the libuuid stuff
generally available on unix boxes to generate uuids. If anyone is
interested, it's available at http://www.tufty.ath....
uuid_generator-0.1.tar.gz

BSD licensed, do what you like with it.

Woops. Mixup on the webserver meant that anyone who trid getting to
it would have got a 403. My bad, and should be fixed now.

I should probably mention that I have no idea if this works under
Windows. Should work under any relatively recent unix-alike, though

I went through this exercise myself a while back, and then discovered
that DCE-style UUIDs are called GUIDs in Windows (Microsoft having
independently implemented DCE), and there's a pure Ruby implementation
available:
