Using "uuid_alt_v13_pod.zip":
1) It seems that some namespace function definitions in uuid.hpp violate the ODR, specifically the ones lacking inline keyword.
Quite plausible.
2) Also some files in the package are pseudo-randomly sprinkled with Ctrl-M characters, as if someone edited them with two different editors. Examples are: "uuid/boost/uuid/uuid_io.hpp" and the files under "uuid/libs/uuid/test/".
That's exactly what happened. That zip is one I threw together fairly quickly to demonstrate my proposed interface changes, not something that I would consider review-ready. I don't know what the current status is. Here an excerpt from an email from Andy on April 9: "I am working on getting it into boost. I did hope to to get it into 1.39.0, but sadly this won't happen. I need to finish going through the post from the review and ensure I have addressed all of them."
