The problem is that the temporary object returned by boost::bind doesn't 
bind to the non-const reference random_shuffle accepts.

I'm not sure if there is a nicer solution to using boost::function, as 
the return type of boost::bind is unspecified.

#include <boost/function.hpp>

void myShuffle() {
   boost::function< int (int) > rand
       = boost::bind(&Foo::customRand, this, _1);

   random_shuffle(dataVector.begin(), dataVector.end(), rand);
}
