Okay.

If you could add doxygen comments to the header,
that would be great.  There should probably also
be some general documentation of quasi-random
sequences.  There isn't currently a concept for
quasi-random number generators.

The source for the documentation is at
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/random/doc

You can view the current generated html at
http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/doc/html/boost_random.html
