The release notes for Boost 1.43 says
"Put the implementation of random_device in a compiled lib, and added
Windows support."

Trying to use this library does not seem to work for me, under visual
studio 2005, with static libraries.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <boost/nondet_random.hpp>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        boost::random_device d;
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
