Thanks for that, I am happy to add the AES and KISS (or an enhanced version of it). Instead of seeding with mt19937, I think it would be preferable to generate the seeds inline and have the generator standalone if possible. Maybe the 69069 LCG used elsewhere would be sufficient(?), otherwise a strong hash function.
