And here's mine, in plain C

    http://my.core.com/crawford/roll.c

Usage:

% roll
 Usage: roll [-n reps] [-t|-d] [-q] <N>d<M>[+|-B]
 N in {1, ..., 20}, M in {4, 6, 8, 10, 12}
 B is option bonus (+) or penalty (-)
 -q: quiet    -t: trait check    -d: damage roll

Its output looks like this

% roll 3d12+4
 12  3  5
  5      
Result: 17+4 = 21

Or for a damage roll,

% roll -d 5d10
  7  5  4 10  3
           9   
Result: 38

Lots of rolls, with just results:
% roll -q -n 10 4d6
Result: 5
Result: 10
Result: 8
Result: 5
Result: 5
Result: 5
Result: 5
Result: 4
Result: 5
Result: 10
