the code is in gwlib/gw_uuid.[ch].

Alex did a lot for research at the time he introduced the UUID implementation as 
a message ID for the transport layers in Kannel. And he did a great work to 
explain the necessary parts at that time. From my perspective I trust his 
research and words, even while I never tried to "understand" the UUID heuristics 
in detail by the code. (I admit I reviewed some other projects and references 
for UUID and have been simply convinced.)
