Other features:

* Function to generate a random seed, using either Java's SecureRandom
or your own entropy source (treated as a file -- e.g., /dev/random)
* Gratuitous comments (not so much inline) that explain the algorithms
and some potential pitfalls

btw the test code uses Java's PRNG (not (rand) -- it creates a new
java.util.Random object and calls the appropriate methods), but this
was only for testing convenience, and should not be construed as an
approval of said PRNG algorithm.
