While this is really great work, Stefan, I'm not sure it's worth any great hassle on our part to manage it. I'm mostly saying this because I don't see where this would be used in large part in real-world applications. Most of our randomness is necessary in simulation-based flowgraphs. While it's always good to speed up your simulation, it's not something that's absolutely critical. I think the best case scenario is that we get the copyright agreement from the original author. Barring that, if you provide a compelling enough case for including it within GNU Radio's source code as opposed to an OOT project, we can discuss and reconsider. Tom
