[boost] Re: Proposal: random number library

A couple of things. Most people who really use random number 
generators (RNGs) in science or statistics want to be able to repeat 
their experiments. Hence a natural implementation of a RNG is as a 
forward iterator. I've been working on an implementation from that 
perspective that also addresses the various kinds of RNGs that 
computational scientists typically need: binomial, uniform, random 
integer, negative exponential, and normal distributions. If people 
would like to see the header file, I can mail it to them. E-mail me
