Do we really have to have the UUID functions in APR? Could we move them to apr-util? (This would allows us to move md5 into apr-util as well...)
It seems that getuuid.c could be rewritten to be more portable (i.e. use apr_time_now, etc.). The only catch seems to be the case where APR_HAS_RANDOM is 0 - this causes the apr_uuid_get code to use lots of non-portable code to achieve "randomness" that may not be available via APR. Could we just enforce APR_HAS_RANDOM in order to use this function? (On systems without APR_HAS_RANDOM, apr_uuid_get wouldn't be available.) Or, would this be too painful? If so, I could resurrect my idea of an entropy gatherer in APR, but that's a *lot* of work. =/ -- justin
