If you haven't got Windows then, I believe there is some utility for
Unix, but I don't know what is called or where you would look for it.
There really is very little mystique in creating IID's they are just
128-bit numbers after all, GUIDGEN.EXE doesn't do any checking for
collisions, it relies on the fact that there is a relatively small
chance of generating the same number twice.
