Some places in mert use srandom()/random(), but these are POSIX-specific.
The standard alternative, srand()/rand(), is not thread-safe. This module
wraps srand()/rand() in mutexes (very short-lived, so should not cost much)
so that it relies on just Boost and the C standard library, not on a Unix-like
environment.
This may reduce the width of the random numbers on some platforms: it goes
from "long int" to just "int". If that is a problem, we may have to use
Boost's randomizer utilities, or eventually, the C++ ones.
I'm adding these because boost::filesystem::unique_path introduces
encoding issues: on Windows the path is in wchar_t, breaking use of
those strings in various places! Encoding the strings is just too
much work.
It's still possible that the current temp_file implementation won't
build on Windows (it uses POSIX mkstemp() and close()) but that can
be fixed underneath the API.

Fixes for Mavericks and a workaround for Boost's broken semaphore
Clean clang compile (of kenlm)
Merged some of 744376b3fb but also undid some of it because it was just masking a fundaemntal problem with pread rather than working around windows limitations
Currently supports kenlm, irstlm, and srilm options.

Places binaries in dist/ that pass regression tests.
