I am not very happy with the create_v1() function in guid_v3.zip.  Really 
it just pretends to implement the specification correctly.  Thus I removed 
it.  guid_v5.zip has create_v4 (random number based) and create_v5 (name 
based) implemented correctly.

Both create_v4() and create_v5() can be obtained from static functions,
guid::create() - random number based (v4), and guid::create(guid const&, 
char const&, int) - name based (v5).

I hope this answers your question.
