--- Comment #5 from Pedro Giffuni <[email protected]> ---
Mersenne Twister is available as an extension (MTRNG).

For the time being I would like to offer different options for users so I
implemented Wichmann-Hill 2006 in revision 1416271 which should cover all the
needs for Calc users.

This said, Mersenne Twister is actually better (much better period) and
replacing the C code with the algorithm in the paper should be relatively
straightforward. If the WH-2006 shows to be insufficient or have problems we
could review the code and plug in the new algorithm relatively easily.
