... so i'd guess that the comphelper/random.hxx approach is most
promising for general-purpose random numbers (i.e. not crypto); it even
nicely encapsulates the boost template madness behind a small ABI.
oh, there is also a <random> header in C++11, likely inspired by
boost::random; i wonder if our new baseline toolchains have support for
this... actually GCC 4.5 release notes list it as a new feature, and
MSVC 2012 has it too:
Hmm, little trap here, uniform_int_distribution takes [a,b] range while
uniform_real_distribution takes [a,b).
