2011-03-05Initial import of the uuid v1.0.2 package from pgfoundry.org.brook1-0/+6
The ``uuid'' PostgreSQL package implements creation of Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs), also referred to as Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs). Although PostgreSQL supports storing UUIDs as a native datatype, it does not provide any mechanism for creating them. This package wraps openssl-supplied md5 and sha1 functions to create UUIDs within PostgreSQL.
