We don't know of a better UUID generator, and barring evidence to the contrary, it seems much more efficient to
contributeto the uuid-ossp project than to invent our own. As far as I can tell, the UUID extension is designed to
supportconfigurable UUID libraries, so if you could find one which worked well for Windows, it would probably be fairly
easyto extend UUID to support it.
