// Revision History
//  06 Feb 2006 - Initial Revision
//  09 Nov 2006 - fixed variant and version bits for v4 guids
//  13 Nov 2006 - added serialization
//  17 Nov 2006 - added name-based guid creation
//  20 Nov 2006 - add fixes for gcc (from Tim Blechmann)
//  07 Mar 2007 - converted to header only
//  10 May 2007 - removed need for Boost.Thread
//              - added better seed - thanks Peter Dimov
//              - removed null()
//              - replaced byte_count() and output_bytes() with size() and begin() and end()
//  11 May 2007 - fixed guid(ByteInputIterator first, ByteInputIterator last)
//              - optimized operator>>
//  14 May 2007 - converted from guid to uuid
//  29 May 2007 - uses new implementation of sha1
//  01 Jun 2007 - removed using namespace directives
//  09 Nov 2007 - moved implementation to uuid.ipp file
//  12 Nov 2007 - moved serialize code to uuid_serialize.hpp file
//  25 Feb 2008 - moved to namespace boost::uuids
//  19 Mar 2009 - changed to a POD, reorganized files
//  28 Nov 2009 - disabled deprecated warnings for MSVC
//  30 Nov 2009 - used BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT
//  02 Dec 2009 - removed BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT - not all compilers like it
