Hello,

I had a slight problem compiling random_demo.cpp after I had changed
the typedef to: typedef boost::mt19937 base_generator_type;

I got this error:

--------------------Configuration: random_demo - Win32
Debug--------------------

random_demo.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I fixed it by adding an 'L' to the first line of main, i.e.
base_generator_type generator(42Lu);
