There are still interesting opinions pouring in, so I'll postpone
the decision.  We can always add an interface later, but removing
one (see std::vector<bool>) is tough.

You may now find "crypt_random.hpp" and "crypt_random.html" at
http://www.egroups.com/docvault/boost/random . Please
suggest a better name.  I've also adapted (hopefully all) references.

index.html is now cloned and adapted from the integer library.
