Implementation of Mersenne Twister algorithm (Random class)

The algorithm and original C source code have been designed by M. Matsumoto and T. Nishimura: Mersenne Twister: A 623-Dimensionally Equidistributed Uniform Pseudo-Random Number Generator, ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation, Vol. 8, No. 1. <http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.html>.

The generators returning floating point numbers are based on a version by Isaku Wada.

The Mersenne Twister random number generator has been ported to C++ by Jesper Bedaux.

Copyright 2003 Jasper Bedaux

Feedback about the C++ port should be sent to Jasper Bedaux, see http://www.bedaux.net/mtrand/ for e-mail address and info.

The interface was revised and non-uniform random number generators have been included from the Random class of EggLib v2.1.3
