Another possability is to implement the UUID generator for your OS. It's
gauranteed to be unique and you can also implement this scheme across
machines.
eg.
aix: sh -c "/.../uuid_gen"
linux: uuidgen
win: uuidgen.exe (win sdk command line tool) or
CreateObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib").Guid,38 (Win Scripting Host)
