Dear Marshall,
The random_device in Boost should work fine on Windows too starting in 1.43, perhaps just target that?
Well, my deadline is quite close. When is 1.43 due?
Boost releases happen near the first of Feb/May/Aug/November. So, 1.43 is due in out early May. (May 3rd, according to the calendar at http://www.boost.org/development/index.html )
I'm afraid that's a few days late for our current deadline. But, thank you for letting me know; It'll be useful for our next iteration.
If you look on the developer's list, 1.43 beta 1 has been built, and is being tested.
I'm not sure I can afford the risk of using betas... :p --Hossein
