If all you're looking for is a random number generator, you might want to
look at the Mersenne Twister PRNG. Information about it can be found at

    http://www.math.keio.ac.jp/~matumoto/emt.html

>From what I've heard it's a pretty solid PRNG, and there's code available on
the page that generates uniform doubles over [0,1].

>(Sorry to ask a question not directly related to Blitz++)

Sorry to suggest something other than Blitz++ :)
