Here's what I understand; I'm sure Ryan will correct me if I'm wrong. Ryan is creating (for his research) a toolkit for finding parameters for WELL pseudo-random number generators (you can view the Mersenne twister as an instance of this class); in particular, he wants a PRNG with a basic word size of more than 32 bits. Since this is potentially generally useful, he wants to contribute this toolkit to Sage, for the use of other people who want to create their own WELL pseudo-random number generators. I think this does belong in Sage; it's obviously very specialized, but so is a lot of other stuff in Sage. The question is, where in the Sage directory tree does a toolkit for constructing new PRNGs belong?
