&gt; I don't believe that the library that the contrib module runs with can run

going to fail.
&gt;  Taking the responsibility to handle this internally means that you can

&gt; Windows 64 bit.

The next release of the installers will, now that we have a 64 Windows
port of ossp-uuid.

Even If that weren't the case, integrating the type wouldn't fix the
problem anyway, unless you're suggesting we implement our own UUID
generator (which isn't nearly as straightforward as it might seem, as
I understand it)..
