It seems to me that I noticed something about this thing in your web
site.
Could we hope you just did some work and could integrate it with the
actual MT implementation?

Having a PRNG class would be cool, and marshaling ( seen has
seed-saving) would be good too. 
It would even be cool to have a choice, cause (I seem to remeber)
that MT is not a *secure* algorithm.

And..  this hypotethical module could support underlying OS's RNG
(at least on some ) .. 
We could benefit of powerful alghoritms on modern OSes, such as Yarrow
, and even get the fast native implementation.
