[uuid] proposed fix for windows_generator.hpp
Hi, In boost/uuid/windows_generator.hpp a conversion routine is used that does return a UUID but it is not the same as the one that was generated through the call to UuidCreate(). I have attached a test case that is showing the difference of the choosen implementationen and the expected one. The expected one was validated using the VS debugger, too. I would like that the provided convertion routines from the windows specific GUID/UUID structure to boost::uid and vice versa will be included in boost::uuid, too. I'm using the v13 version from the vault. Should I open a bug report for this issue?

To save others checking the provided code: Microsoft's GUID class (which it also calls a UUID) stores the internal values as uint32_t, uint16_t, uint16_t, uint8_t[8] in native -- little-endian -- byte order, so the first 3 members need byte order reversing to match the in-memory format specified by the RFC. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa379358%28VS.85%29.aspx
