About the library:

Guid is a library providing an implementation of Globally Unique
Identifiers.  Guid's are used in many facets of programming, including
databases, networks, remote procedures, serializations, transactions,
identifying documents, and identifying classes.  This library is efficient
and is able to create name-based and random-based guids.
