Minor note:  You do not need to pass random number generators around.
Netwire has native support for noise.  See Control.Wire.Prefab.Random.
A WRandom instance is predefined for IO.  However I just realized a bug.
I forgot to export the WRandom class. =)

Will be fixed in the next release.

While the context wire transformers allow you to have dynamic wire sets
'distribute' is pretty much static.  In an older release of Netwire
there used to be a 'manager' wire that was specifically designed to
maintain a set of dynamic wires.  I decided to omit it in newer releases
and let library/application authors write a more domain-specific version
of it.  You should be able to just use the old code (perhaps with minor
adjustments to fit the new types), which you can find here:
