6. Combine 2 and 3: require the user to pass in a MAC argument to uuid1, but provide a SlowGetMacAddress helper that wraps the existing code.

That sounds like the right thing to do, although I wouldn't call it "slow"; just let it be documented as 'might not always work and might be inefficient', so there's room to make it the perfect and preferred way to get a MAC address without having to rename it. (Not that I think that's a reliable prospect, but hey ;)
