The original seeding algorithm, as found in GLib-2.0.x, can be used
instead of the new one by setting the environment variable
G_RANDOM_VERSION to the value of "2.0". Use the GLib-2.0 algorithm
only if you have sequences of numbers generated with Glib-2.0 that
you need to reproduce exactly.
Also the pseudo-random integers generated by g_rand_int_range and
g_random_int_range will have a slightly better equal distribution
with the new version of GLib.
