Summary: Patch for uuid to run under AIX

Initial Comment:
recently had occasion to install your uuid GEM on an AIX system.  I had a problem due to the fact that AIX does not put a MAC address in the output of "ifconfig".  It does put MAC addresses in the output of "netstat -v".  I modified the code in the following way, and uuid now works on AIX.  I have tested this on both AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1, but all versions of AIX I have worked with would have the same issue.  ifconfig has never reported a MAC address, and netstat -v always has.

     # Run ifconfig for UNIX, or ipconfig for Windows.
     config = ""
     Kernel.open "|ifconfig" do |input|
       input.each_line { |line| config << line }
     end rescue nil
     Kernel.open "|netstat -v" do |input|         # AIX
       input.each_line { |line| config << line }  # AIX
     end rescue nil                               # AIX
     Kernel.open "|ipconfig /all" do |input|
       input.each_line { |line| config << line }
     end rescue nil

Summary: UUID bugs: last_clock

Initial Comment:
I'm looking at your UUID class http://trac.labnotes.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/browser/uuid/lib/uuid.rb and am puzzled by two things:

* line 202 you have "elsif clock = @@last_clock", that's an assignment that will always evaluate to true as far as I can tell

* if you change 202 to ==, then the combination of 205 incrementing @@last_clock by 1 and the masking of the lower-order bits of the time in  line 198 will make it that the next time you generate a UUID withing the same clock tick the clock is less than @@last_clock, which is not what you intend.

I'll see how I can fix this on my end. Thanks for making your class available!
