I wish the source code was cross-platform. It doesn't build in Visual Studio.

  'erand48': identifier not found
  'M_PI' : undeclared identifier

Obviously #define M_PI 3.1415926 should do the trick, but I need to track down an erand48 replacement.

Might want to check out: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libgw32c.htm

Or the FreeBSD source: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/gen/erand...

erand48 returns random doubles from [0.0, 1.0). The argument to erand48() is just a state vector (instead of the usual unsafe convention of having the RNG store its state internally). You can replace it with a call to any other equivalent random number generator.
