Hi there, here my review.

yes, please.
> - What is your evaluation of the design?
The design is simple and easy to understand. The learning curve is
expectically very low.
> - What is your evaluation of the implementation?
Somebody else on this list was mentioning of a conflicting license
issue with sha1.hpp. This should be resolved before adding this lib to
boost.
Same as Dan Nuffer I would like to see a way to change the default
random number generator.
> - What is your evaluation of the documentation?
Good enough.
> - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library?
I use it for over half a year now and haven't created the a equal guid yet. ;-)

Yes. I'm using it at work already.
> - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick

I'm using the lib for a while already and I have nothing to complain.
The learning curve really isn't that huge either.
> - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?
No. All I need is way to generate ids that are unique.
Thanks for another useful lib.
