Hi guys

Konstantin who is a biologist developed for a "bacteria" eating monster
simulation system, two new random number generators.
I think that this is great because we need more random generators :)

- Combined Random Number Generator is based on the algorithm described
by PIERRE L'ECUYER in "Efficient and Portable Combined Random Number
Generators" [Communications of the ACM, June 19, Volume 31, Number 6,
pp. 742-749, references p.774].

- ExpInvConGen is an explicit inversive congruential generator,
constructed according to "Good random number generators are (not so)
easy to find" by P. Hellekalek (1998) and extended euclidean algorithm.

I plan to package them and publish them in SciTalk with their own
configuration. But I wanted to know what you think.
