Grace the ossp-uuid libraries have no make system to create a 64 bit version and I guess there are some technical reasons with the compiler.  You can run them on Linux 64 bit and Windows 32 bit only.  This is the reason I'd like to see native UUID support built in to the datatype.

I don't use UUIDs and have way too much on my plate alread so I'm not volunteering for this one.
