Re: mt19937 large integers, was: Re: RANDOM() and RANDOM(FALSE) probl em

Hello,

I've modified rand-mt19937.lisp to construct large integers
by concatenating chunks without overlap and without throwing
away bits. I've run some tests and so far as I can see I 
haven't goofed up anything. I'll run some more tests but in
the meantime the most recent rev is here:
http://maxima.sf.net/wiki/index.php/Modified%20MT%2019937%20rng

I also pasted in the package declarations suggested by Peter Scott
and that makes compile-file work for CMUCL, Clisp, & GCL.
Although the compiled file doesn't run any faster in GCL;
that seems slightly odd.

For what it's worth,
Robert Dodier
