[Bug 399] New: Revive scythe support

A new bug was added:
Summary: Revive scythe support
Product: BFL
Version: trunk
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: wrappers
AssignedTo: bfl [..] ...
ReportedBy: klaas [dot] gadeyne [..] ...

On january 2007, scythe 1.0.1 was released. The library is now header only,
tested with recent compilers, provides API documentation, comes with a decent
build system and seems much cleaner now. Since rng.h still contains the old
scythe code, it might be (a small) effort to put scythe support back in BFL.

I gave Scythe and your patch a try, and both seem to work fine. I committed
your patch in revision 28108.

Implemented between soup and potatoes. FWIW, it passes unit tests here.

One further advantage of the (very small amount of) header only code is the
fact we could include the headers into BFL as use that as a fallback
implementation in case no other RNG generator is found. Note that Scythe is
licensed under GPL though, and I don't know if including the headers would mean
BFL needs GPL too. Anyone?
