[boost] class random_device from <boost/nondet_random.hpp> has no implementation

Hi,

Most of the boost libraries' implementation is either in header files,
or in a compiled library.  Class boost::random_device is an exception:
the implementation is found in libs/random/random_device.cpp, but this
file is not built into any library.

This issue has been raised by a Debian user (http://bugs.debian.org/261719) 
and earlier (http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost-users/msg03506.php)
but never addressed.

I wanted to confirm whether this is a bug or is by design.

Thanks,
-Steve
