Yes, having UUID in Glib would be great, because it's a common type, and
for portability. Unfortunately, the maintainers do not seem interested atm.
So I suggest you copy/adapt the patch I proposed.

Until Glib has UUIDs, I was planning to use libuuid, but the comments on

I wouldn't bother with an external dependency that will not be easily
portable for such as small thing. I suggest you implement your own or copy
from my patch.

You should also show your interest in the bug, by leaving some comments,
reviewing the proposed API etc.
