/**
 * UUID value generator.  Type 1 generator is based on the time-based generator  
 * in the Apache Commons Id project:  http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox
 * /id/uuid.html  The type 4 generator uses the standard Java UUID generator.
 *
 * The type 1 code has been vastly simplified and modified to replace the 
 * ethernet address of the host machine with the IP, since we do not want to 
 * require native libs and Java cannot access the MAC address directly.
 *
 * In spirit, implements the IETF UUID draft specification, found here:<br />
 * http://www1.ics.uci.edu/~ejw/authoring/uuid-guid/draft-leach-uuids-guids-01
