Andy?
Looking at that commit, it does look like what wmi_parse_guid +
wmi_swap_bytes did was to implement a LE uuid. So the conversion looks
correct, but the fact that it breaks something obviously means that
there's something missing. What's going on?
And dammit, how I hate uuid's and the idiotic byte ordering issue.
It's possibly the only idiotic standard that is even worse than xml.
