Hi there, I find it a bit weird why the guid needs to be built. I think the designer did it because of the sha1 lib. But how about having guid lib header only when you want everything but the create_v5 part?

I think that would make sense. I wouldn't mind reorganizing the code.

Hi, I have been considering making the guid library header only. You are the second to suggest it. I could make the sha1 library part header only as well, so that the whole library (including create_v5) would be header only. I was waiting until the review to determine if this is the route I should take. As I see it, the rationale for changing to a header only library would be similar to the boost timer library rationale (for it being a header only library). Andy.
