Makoto Matsumoto provides a result file mt19937ar.out of his C version
as a reference. From readme-mt.txt:

4. The outputs
The output of the mt19937ar.c is in the file mt19937ar.out.
If you revise or translate the code, check the output
by using this file.

The usability of the mt port would be significantly improved if it
included the
functionalities for
Saving/Restoring the internal state of the mt PRNG using something
like the Save, Reset procedure and the Image and Value functions
defined in AARM A.5.2 (Random Number Generation:
http://ada-auth.org/~acats/arm-html/AA-A-5-2.html )
