GUID which stands for Global Uniqie IDentifier is already in boost.
Why include a second one? If you want to work on this, then better
improve the existing one.

For the beginning, it can be separated from lirbary
boost::serialization (it is an extended_type_info):

http://boost.org/libs/serialization/doc/extended_type_info.html

In fact it is already a separate module (because it makes testing much
simpler), so the separation will just make things more formal, and
involve just changing namespaces.
