Description:
 def _generateGUID(slnfile, name):
 """This generates a dummy GUID for the sln file to use. It is based on the MD5 signatures of the sln filename plus the name of the project. It basically just needs to be unique, and not change with each invocation."""

    m = hashlib.md5()
    # Normalize the slnfile path to a Windows path (\ separators) so
    # the generated file has a consistent GUID even if we generate
    # it on a non-Windows platform.
    m.update(bytearray(ntpath.normpath(str(slnfile)) + str(name),'utf-8'))
    solution = m.hexdigest().upper()
    # convert most of the signature to GUID form (discard the rest)
