	Upon reflection, those timing are ridiculous because there is no 
way to know what was optimized away by the compiler (like the empty 
loop: no matter how high I set LOOPS, that takes 0ms which is 
absurd). So here are the timings with no optimization (-O0):

Empty loop:       6324ms
Kiss64 (int):    13482ms
Kiss64 (dbl):    33679ms
Alvo (floor):    26223ms
Alvo (cast):     20113ms
Alvo (tmp+cast): 23512ms
Isaac:           33855ms

	Of course, this doesn't say anything about the quality of the 
random numbers generated.
