For reference, here's Qt's UUID implementation:
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/blobs/4.7/src/corelib/plugin/quuid.cpp#line562

On Windows, it uses CoCreateGuid(); on Unix it tries to use /dev/urandom
(falling back to qrand()) and formats it specially, as described here:
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/blobs/4.7/src/corelib/plugin/quuid.cpp#line546
