I'd add a check for a few known values after some ~700 extractions with known 
seeds, to ensure cross-platform compatibility. Also, to try reseeding after 
taking every code path where the function pointers get set currently to the 
_NoSeed version, not just gmp_randinit_set.

I'd appreciate if someone takes care of this. I'm quite busy now.
