Hi all,

Using "uuid_alt_v13_pod.zip":

1) It seems that some namespace function definitions in uuid.hpp violate 
the ODR, specifically the ones lacking inline keyword.  This is one of 
the errors I get using Apple's g++-4.0 when including uuid.hpp in two 
different source files:

ld: duplicate symbol boost::uuids::operator>=(boost::uuids::uuid const&, 
boost::uuids::uuid const&)

If I add inline to the aforementioned function definitions, then the 
linker errors go away, which makes since.

After some digging around, this issue was discussed beginning with: 
http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/05/122479.php

but seems to have cropped back up.

Examples are: "uuid/boost/uuid/uuid_io.hpp" and the files under 
"uuid/libs/uuid/test/"2) Also some files in the package are 
pseudo-randomly sprinkled with Ctrl-M characters, as if someone edited 
them with two different editors..
