Hi everyone,
here's the latest version of my uuid changes patch, according to
proposal (2) from Tom in the thread about OSSP-UUID[1].
* it works on linux and bsd (tested on ubuntu and netbsd), using their
own uuid implementations
* the configure switch is now --with-uuid
* function signatures are fully compatible with ossp-uuid
* it has some regression tests
The latest version of the patch also fixes some issues wrt RFC
compliance as I've realised the RFC itself had a wrong example[2]. The
output now matches the one from OSSP-UUID, although I couldn't verify
the behaviour on big-endian systems.
Feel free to consider it for 9.4b2 or the next commit fest.
