/** This is the Prototype factory class for random number engines.

 * The reason for creating the engines as this is that we would like to set
 * the engines parameters, via some Action, and then onward only have
 * random number engines of this type using these parameters. Hence, we have
 * a singleton factory that is controlled by the Action and can then create
 * engines wherever we like in the code by having the factory create one.
