There appears to be a transcription error, there; the second win32 import 
isn't covered by a try/except and the ImportError seems to have disappeared 
as well.

Also, for Python 2.5, these imports could probably be replaced with a 
ctypes call, though I'm not experienced enough w/ctypes to figure out what 
the call should be.

Similarly, for the _uuidgen module, you've not included the C source for 
that module or the setup.py incantations to build it.  But again, it could 
probably be replaced by ctypes calls to uuidgen(2) on BSD-ish platforms.

I'll take a whack at addressing these once the code is in, though, unless 
there's a ctypes guru or two available...?
