I wonder if we should import both the name sha and sha1. If we did that 
we could modify ipauuid to import from compat directly. This would be 
nicer too because it shortens the diffs from the upstream uuid.py.

The reason we have our own local copy is partly due to the fact that 
uuid.py imports ctypes which is not at all SELinux friendly. That and so 
we can work on Python 2.4 systems.
