Fair enough. I figured I'd toss it out there, just to see if anyone wanted it. I use uuidgen on FreeBSD in some of my own stuff, and figured maybe someone else would find it useful. I'm aware that the code quality is horrific, but the goal was for it to at least passably work, and let other people bash into shape for actual inclusion. Perhaps you're right about me wasting people's time, but I'm okay with that. There is a lot time to go around. You're obviously not the only person on this mailing list. Since it's obviously not a wanted addition to OpenBSD (regardless of the code quality), feel free to to ignore it. I do actually appreciate your input, but I'll jot off back to my rock.
Have a good day, ladies and gents.
