Super-Fast Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) Implementation using SSE/SSE4

SpikeFun 0.71 contains several speed improvements that bring simulation-generation time down by 10-20%. One of the improvements is super-fast pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), written to use Intel's SSE4 instruction set (where possible). New PRNG is based on MWC1616 algorithm, which is a class of "Multiply-with-carry" (MWC) pseudorandom number generators. Author of this algorithm is George Marsaglia.
