There is a windows API call to generate GUID's, which are unique and I
assume are the same as uuids. I used to know what this was, but I have
forgotten now:) I don't know if emacs lisp can call the windows API, but
somewhere I should have a small command line app that enerates GUIDs and
outputs them to stdout.
