// seed_rng models a UniformRandomNumberGenerator (see Boost.Random).
// Random number generators are hard to seed well.  This is intended to provide
// good seed values for random number generators.
// It creates random numbers from a sha1 hash of data from a variary of sources,
// all of which are standard function calls.  It produces random numbers slowly.
// Peter Dimov provided the details of sha1_random_digest_().
