Hello,

I've coded a Poisson distribution for possible inclusion in the
boost random library. I've attached the gzipped patch to the
last boost release, I hope that's an ok way to make this
contribution.

I noticed there is also a Cauchy distribution in the random
library. Is this supposed to be the same as the Lorentzian 
distribution? 

Thanks for boost!
