&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; I don't believe that the library that the contrib
module runs with can run
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; on Window 64 bit servers or even Windows 7 64 bit.
That is problem as most
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; shops are using 64 bit OS and if Window the contrib module is
&gt;&gt;going to fail.
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;  Taking the responsibility to handle this internally
means that you can
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; write your own implementation not based on a libary
that can't handle
&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; Windows 64 bit.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;The next release of the installers will, now that we have a 64 Windows
&gt;&gt;port of ossp-uuid.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;Even If that weren't the case, integrating the type wouldn't fix the
&gt;&gt;problem anyway, unless you're suggesting we implement our own UUID
&gt;&gt;generator (which isn't nearly as straightforward as it might seem, as
&gt;&gt;I understand it)..
