That's one of the reason the uuid type as been just an array of bytes 
(up to this patch).
My reasoning was that anyone can use any libraries they want at the 
application-that-use-libxl level, and just need to feed the array of 
bytes with whatever has generated an uuid, be it a poor quality version 
or a good one.
