Details:

Hi,


it would be nice to have the PCG random number generator(s) included in GSL. C
source for the generators exists in https://github.com/imneme/pcg-c under an
Apache license, which AFAIK is compatible with the GPL.

The generator is quite simple, as is shown by the minimal code in
http://www.pcg-random.org/download.html (7 lines!).
