Ichthyostega 7a3e4098c8 Library: some first thoughts regarding random number generation
Relying on random numbers for verification and measurements is known to be problematic.
At some point we are bound to control the seed values -- and in the actual
application usage we want to record sequence seeding in the event log.

Some initial thoughts regarding this intricate topic.
 * a low-ceremony drop-in replacement for rand() is required
 * we want the ability to pick-up and control each and every usage eventually
 * however, some usages explicitly require true randomness
 * the ability to use separate streams of random-number generation is desirable
