Add support for v3 and v5 about uuid HOT 5 CLOSED

Also see this as it seems to improve on the above link I provided:

Sorry for the delay in responding to this. It kind of fell off my radar :p. So, some initial thoughts after reading thru the spec...

First, both v3 and v5 pertain to UUIDs generated from names/namespaces, right? The only difference is the hash algorithm used - v3 uses MD5 while v5 uses SHA1?

I guess my main concern here is code bloat. I'm actually already a bit uncomfortable with how large uuid.js is since I generally believe people only care about one type of UUID (in the context of a given project.) Currently if all you care about are v4 ids - which I suspect is the majority of use cases for this library - all the code for doing v1 uuids (the majority of uuid.js, btw) is just wasted bytes. v3/v5 support would just compound this problem.

Thus, before v3/v5 code gets added, I'd like to figure out how to package these such that people only have to use the code relevant to the particular version they care about. Which I don't have an immediate answer for. I'm open to suggestions though... :)

How about making separate packages for each version, with names in the format node-uuid-vN?

@nicknovitski - yup, that's probably the right direction to go with this.
