[RNG] New implementations before release of 1.0

Hi.

Release of version 1.0 will be delayed for another two weeks,
waiting for additional implementations.
See:
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-16
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-17

If you intend to try and implement them, please assign the
issue to yourself.
Patches for other algorithms are welcome too.

Please note that any new implementation must come with
(1) a unit test where the output (say, a few hundred
     numbers) of "Commons RNG" is compared against a
     "reference" implementation,
(2) the outputs of the "RandomStressTester" piping
     from the "Dieharder" and "TU01/BigCrush" actual
     stress test suites.

If you provide the Java code and (1), I can take take care
of (2), since I have the software installed already.[1]


Regards,
Gilles

[1] Please take into account that it will take about 32
     hours to run "BigCrush".
     Hence, I'll start all the runs (3 "Dieharder" and 3
     "BigCrush", per new implementation) in _one_ go.

I noticed that there are different formulation, with different
meanings.

But for that vote, the text said:
---CUT---
This vote will close in 72 hours, [...]
---CUT---

[orcmid] 

I think it is the vote will be *open* "at least until."  It is common to leave a [VOTE] open either because of discussion or to see if an additional ballot is forthcoming.  I've started using "ending no earlier than <some-UTC-datetime>" in [VOTE]s I run.

I suppose the way [VOTE] threads end clearly is either with a [CANCEL] report or a [RESULT] report.

The deadline just means that you wait to close the vote "at least" until.

Cheers,
