Functions/Subroutines
integer function, dimension(8), public	constructseed (i, j, time, perm)
	Constructs a unique seed from grid cell index and model date/time The perm is supplied we generate a different seed by circularly shifting the bits of the seed - this is useful if we want to create more than one seed for a given column and model date/time. Note that abs(perm) must be <= the number of bits used to represent the default integer (likely 32)

Detailed Description

Generic module to wrap random number generators.

The module defines a type that identifies the particular stream of random numbers, and has procedures for initializing it and getting real numbers in the range 0 to 1. This version uses the Mersenne Twister to generate random numbers on [0, 1].
