There is no templatized user-provided seed()
and related constructors in the C++0x random
number generation library. The draft N3000 says
that the engines (Mersenne Twister, among others)
have
template<SeedSequence Sseq> explicit mersenne_twister_engine(Sseq& q);
template<SeedSequence Sseq> void seed(Sseq& q);
in order to use a user-supplied seed generator.
GCC classes accept only std::seed_seq, which in
some situations doesn't provide high-enough entropy.
