friend bool operator==(const mersenne_twister& x, const mersenne_twister& y)
  {
    for(int j = 0; j < state_size; ++j)
      if(x.compute(j) != y.compute(j))
        return false;
    return true;
  }

I don't understand why you say that.  It compares == if the states are ==
over the stat_size.  Isn't that correct?
