Summary: Lack of GUID genration prevents using tallow in automated ..

Initial Comment:
build environments.

Main advantage of having command line tools is to use
them in automated build environments. After first
encounters with tallow and MSBuild it became obvious
that it is impossible to do that now due to very simple
shortcomings in tallow itself. I do consider it to be
BUG due to the very nature of majority of command line
tools used currently by developers - they are assumed
to automate build process. Unfortunately lack of guid
generation for extracted components prevents it.

Please consider adding -genguid command line option and
the following lines of code to tallow:

byte[] buffer = new byte[16];
RNGCryptoServiceProvider rng = new
RNGCryptoServiceProvider();
rng.GetBytes(buffer);
Guid componentGuid = new Guid(buffer);

This will obviously ensure cryptographically strong
random number generation and thus unique guids - unless
somone does not believe in uniqueness of 128 bit keys ;).

Cheers
