Hi Cygwin team,
to be more compatible to Linux environment, cygwin should provide 2 more
virtual files:
The read-only files uuid and boot_id contain random strings like
6fd5a44b-35f4-4ad4-a9b9-6b9be13e1fe9.
The former is generated afresh for each read, the latter was generated
once.
they could be easy provided and filled using /dev/urandom
Thanks, Alexander
