  Description     : Parallel Pseudo Random Number Generator (PPRNG) 'sitmo' Header
       Files
 Provided within are two high quality and fast PPRNGs that may be
 used in an 'OpenMP' parallel environment. In addition, there is a generator
 for one dimensional low-discrepancy sequence. The objective of this library
 to consolidate the distribution of the 'sitmo' (C++98 & C++11), 'threefry' and
 'vandercorput' (C++11-only) engines on CRAN by enabling others to link to the
 header files inside of 'sitmo' instead of including a copy of each engine
 within their individual package. Lastly, the package contains example
 implementations using the 'sitmo' package and three accompanying vignette that
 provide additional information.
