I'm interested in using the functionaliy from the random library.

I arm wrestled with the documentation and couldn't get my ap to compile.
of the first page of the documentation.  I checked the test matrix and
the library is showing no errors. So I just tried to compile random_demo.cpp
mentioned in the forth line.  I got a bunch of cryptic (to me) warnings.

I don't think this should happen.

They are just warnings so I suppose they are irrelevant to my own
problems but still it's annoying.
