 * Revision history
 *  2000-02-18  portability fixes (thanks to Beman Dawes)
 *  2000-02-21  shuffle_output, inversive_congruential_schrage,
 *              generator_iterator, uniform_smallint
 *  2000-02-23  generic modulus arithmetic helper, removed *_schrage classes,
 *              implemented Streamable and EqualityComparable concepts for 
 *              generators, added Bernoulli distribution and Box-Muller
 *              transform
 *  2000-03-01  cauchy, lognormal, triangle distributions; fixed 
 *              uniform_smallint; renamed gaussian to normal distribution
 *  2000-03-05  implemented iterator syntax for distribution functions
 *  2000-04-21  removed some optimizations for better BCC/MSVC compatibility
 *  2000-05-10  adapted to BCC and MSVC
 *  2000-06-13  incorporated review results
 *  2000-07-06  moved basic templates from namespace detail to random
 *  2000-09-23  warning removals and int64 fixes (Ed Brey)
 *  2000-09-24  added lagged_fibonacci generator (Matthias Troyer)
 *  2001-02-18  moved to individual header files
