Can we agree that counter_based_engine, implemented roughly along these lines is a worthwhile addition to Boost.Random? If so, what's the way forward?

The main thing I need is documentation as doxygen+quickbook.

Sure. The headers aren't a big deal, since it's trivial for me to copy files, but the documentation does need to be integrated into the Boost.Random docs.

I might be able to help with doxygen+Quickbook - getting the toolchain set up is tiresome.

If you've got it set up right, then you should be able to rebuild the existing docs in the modular-boost tree.

Or I could start with your plain text notes, perhaps pasted onto to a plain text dump of the existing html, and edit this in Quickbook syntax and you (and others) can view the result.

A GIT branch sounds essential.

But I can't do this for a few weeks :-(

Ok. I'll start a git branch and reach out for help with QuickBook when I get that far. Thanks, John
