Description Daniel Bates 2011-02-01 10:05:29 PST 
We should add support for the Mersenne Twister PRNG on platforms that don't use the Standard C library implementation of srand() and rand().

As of 02/01/2011, the Apple Mac; Apple Windows; Brew MP; and UNIX ports do not support the Mersenne Twister PRNG because they use platform-specific alternatives to srand(3) and rand(3).
