Those seem good proposals to me. The only (smallish) problem I see is that the 
guids generated by libuuid and UuidCreate have a slightly different format 
than what we use now. So we'd still have to wrap these libraries to output 
guids in the format we are using so far. But that seems to be a small issue.
