Subject: [boost] [UUID] uuid.hpp ODR violation and Ctrl-M pollution

Hi all,
Using "uuid_alt_v13_pod.zip":
1) It seems that some namespace function definitions in uuid.hpp violate
the ODR, specifically the ones lacking inline keyword. This is one of
the errors I get using Apple's g++-4.0 when including uuid.hpp in two
different source files:
ld: duplicate symbol boost::uuids::operator>=(boost::uuids::uuid const&,
boost::uuids::uuid const&)
If I add inline to the aforementioned function definitions, then the
linker errors go away, which makes since.
After some digging around, this issue was discussed beginning with:
http://listarchives.boost.org/Archives/boost/2007/05/122479.php
but seems to have cropped back up.
Examples are: "uuid/boost/uuid/uuid_io.hpp" and the files under
"uuid/libs/uuid/test/"2) Also some files in the package are
pseudo-randomly sprinkled with Ctrl-M characters, as if someone edited
them with two different editors..
