I'd like to deprecate or remove two libraries:

- min_rand has been the only entry in our list of "Obsolete 
Libraries" for quite some time. Random is quite mature, so let's 
just eliminate min_rand now.
Doesn't one of the classes in Boost.Random have the same distribution 
as min_rand?  If so, we can do a transition by changing min_rand to a 
typedef of the updated class.
Yes, IIRC the same generator is available. But I don't think there is 
any need for a transition; we've been signalling for years that 
min_rand was due for removal.
[TRUNCATE]

Has the exact substitute in Boost.Random ever been specified?  In a way 
that an user that used min_rand who finds it gone can find out what the 
substitute is?  Are you sure that no Boost code is still using min_rand?
