   What do they have a uuid library for? It sure is not a good name for
a library (but we have an excuse: MS made us do it :-).

   I think libuuid should be in the same directory as the other dlls. I
believe this would resolve the conflicts too, no?

   If we do so we should decide on a set prefix so that one can easily
take the name of a Windows library and build the name of the
corresponding Wine library (in winemaker for instance). But putting them
away in a separate directory should already solve most of the problems
(unless, one is crazy enough to want to link with two libraries with the
same name: like ext2fs's uuid library and Wine's).
