Hi,

I have been considering making the guid library header only.  You are the 
second to suggest it.  I could make the sha1 library part header only as 
well, so that the whole library (including create_v5) would be header only.  
I was waiting until the review to determine if this is the route I should 
take.

As I see it, the rationale for changing to a header only library would be 
similar to the boost timer library rationale (for it being a header only 
library).

Andy.
