There's one special thing about this module: It uses the ragel
(http://www.complang.org/ragel/) state machine compiler. I hope
this is not a problem for phobos, ragel doesn't introduce any
runtime dependencies and has no effect on licensing. There's
also no need to integrate ragel in the build process. We can
publish a pregenerated .d file, which should be updated
manually whenever changes to uuid.rl are made.
Would it be hard to reimplement the ragel part using string
mixins? From a quick glance at it, it doesn't seem too difficult.
