Finally I have come to the same solution since the generated UUIDs/GUIDs are
intended to be saved into a DB after performing some actions.

I was also suggested to use a PECL extension for this but I have no idea how
to make it work under Win32 (since it uses *nix's libuuid).

Many thanks to all contributors!

Have a great day,
