Standardize on xoroshiro128** as our basic PRNG algorithm, eliminating a bunch of platform dependencies as well as fundamentally-obsolete PRNG code. In addition, this API replacement will ease replacing the algorithm again in future, should that become necessary. xoroshiro128** is a few percent slower than the drand48 family, but it can produce full-width 64-bit random values not only 48-bit, and it should be much more trustworthy. It's likely to be noticeably faster than the platform's random(), depending on which platform you are thinking about; and we can have non-global state vectors easily, unlike with random(). It is not cryptographically strong, but neither are the functions it replaces.
