This is why I referred to this extension and lib. However they are only based on libuuid. We still need to support windows and I would prefer to use libc's uuid for BSD. I think pecl's uuid could be good start to make it more portable across system. The API is already clear (generation and comparison, not sure we need much more). I am not sure either about the various platforms and what they support in term of UUID versions. We have to clarify this point before anything can be merged.
