Hi there, here my review.

yes, please.

The design is simple and easy to understand. The learning curve is
expectically very low.

> - What is your evaluation of the implementation?

Somebody else on this list was mentioning of a conflicting license
issue with sha1.hpp. This should be resolved before adding this lib to
boost.

Same as Dan Nuffer I would like to see a way to change the default
random number generator.

> - What is your evaluation of the documentation?
Good enough.

> - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library?
I use it for over half a year now and haven't created the a equal guid yet. ;-)

Yes. I'm using it at work already.

I'm using the lib for a while already and I have nothing to complain.
The learning curve really isn't that huge either.

> - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?

No. All I need is way to generate ids that are unique.

Thanks for another useful lib.
