For windows there is CryptGenRandom (from CAPI) [1], should not be too hard to 
provide for Windows. Here is a C/C++ example:

  https://gist.github.com/kbjorklu/6317361

It is different on Smalltalk platform and OS platform to wrap a native API.

It can be wrapped using NativeBoost in Pharo, ideally as a security/cryptography
package in the general http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OS/OS-Windows

For VW this can be done using DLLC Connect, FFI on Squeak, ...

Merely (as always) just a time issue.

Thx
