However, it can *also* generate ulongs with 64 bits of

should have even
less overhead, making LF *faster* (!) than MinstdRand0.
I'll try and benchmark that myself. Boost also defines a
64-bit Mersenne Twister which we really should have in Phobos;
it'll require some tweaks to the MersenneTwisterEngine design
(some more template parameters).
FYI, I tweaked my algo a bit, as the benches revealed an issue.
Please wait for a new commit before testing my code.
