I updated my patch. I checked version field in 'uuid_generate_internal'
function instead of checking it in 'uuid_generate_v1' and
'uuid_generate_v1mc' functions, but I have some questions:

1 - Should it be checked only for  '--with-uuid=bsd' option?
    1.1 - If it is needed to be checked only for '--with-uuid=bsd',
should just NetBSD be checked?
2 - Should it error out without including current UUID version in the
error message? General error message could mask if the 'uuid_create'
function starts to produce UUIDs other than version-4.
