You could see if uuidgen is available, and if not, fallback to an online uuid generator:
http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen

Sending a post request to that URL shouldn't be too hard. And you can extract the UUID from the first <h3> element on the page.

I would separate the code responsible for extraction for retrieval, that way if the page format, url, or post vars change, it will be easy to update.

Hi Windows users,

is the command uuidgen usually available under windows?  I am  
considering
to make this the default for ID generation because it works on the Mac
and under GNU/Linux.  But I would like to have a default that works on
all systems....

Thanks.

- Carsten
