Can you give a link to the PostgreSQL binding?  I haven't been able to
find it there.  All I see is C, Perl and PHP bindings for the generation
of UUIDs, and nothing about storage.

(For my application, as it happens, I don't need to generate UUIDs in
the database, but I recognize that would be useful.)
