[lug] Platform independent randomness

[Ken Weinert]

	Does anyone have any pointers to an algorithm for
rand()/srand() that is platform independent? In this case the 3
platforms of concern are sun/solaris, sun/x86, linux/x86.

	The requirements are that given a particular seed, all 3
platforms will generate the same sequence of (pseudo) random numbers.
This isn't a highly secure application, so this doesn't have to be the
most robust algorithm, just repeatable on the 3 platforms above.

	Thanks in advance for any help.
