I want to mention that Linux and NetBSD's uuid are different.
That's one of the reason the uuid type as been just an array of bytes (up to this patch). My reasoning was that anyone can use any libraries they want at the application-that-use-libxl level, and just need to feed the array of bytes with whatever has generated an uuid, be it a poor quality version or a good one.
