Okay, I just whipped this up. It's really small and fast and
definitely random enough for ODE's constraint-shuffling. Hope
it's of some use (sorry I don't really have time to integrate
this with stepfast.cpp at the moment, but hopefully it's a
fairly trivial job). It makes some minor assumptions about
type sizes, the only significant and semi-controversial
one being that a basic 'unsigned long' is exactly 32 bits.
