It looks like MS and IBM are both using the Dinkumware lib - the documentation
for all 3 is exactly the same.

As an observation, i see that the mersenne_twister in boost/tr1/random.hpp says:

   void seed(unsigned long value)
   { m_gen.seed(value == 0 ? 5489UL : value); }

and the constructor says:

explicit mersenne_twister(unsigned long value)
      : m_gen(value == 0 ? 4357UL : value){}

Should those both be 5489?
