UUID generator

Description:

UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) are primarily used in distributed applications to generate identifiers that do not conflict.

This UUID generator is based on RFC 4122, and uses the time-based format, allowing for up to 10 million unique identifiers per machine per second.

A 48-bit node identifier prevents identifier conflicts between machines. The setup script automatically discovers a node identifier from one of the network cards MAC address on your machine.

This release introduces a new Gem, separate from the reliable-msg project, for use in other Ruby applications.
