I recommend adding some ocamldoc comments in the mli file, to
explain the semantics.

Looking at the interface on its own, I'd guess that:

> +val make_uuid_prng : unit ->  'a t
This one comes from a pseudo-random number generator.

> +val make_uuid_urnd : unit ->  'a t
This one comes straight from /dev/urandom

> +val make_uuid_rnd : unit ->  'a t
This one comes straight from /dev/random

Are my guesses correct?

Cheers,
Jonathan
