The beta version of the PragmAda Reusable Components for ISO/IEC 
8652:2007 now contains an implementation of Marsaglia's KISS RNG, and a 
"combined" RNG that combines both the Universal and KISS generators to 
result in a generator that should be both better quality than either and 
with a much longer period as well. You can find the PragmARCs at

I hope those of you who are into RNGs will take a look and provide feedback.
