title: UUID into unsigned int
body: <p>Is there anywhere to compress/convert/encode/encrypt a UUID into an unsigned int?</p>
  
  <p>I read UUID's from a sql table, the history is ugly and i can not change... I have only an unsigned int to store it in. This is C++ in case that makes a difference</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts on this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
