Yes it's been done.  It comes with hbc.  And here it is!!

{-
   This module implements a (good) random number generator.

   The June 1988 (v31 #6) issue of the Communications of the ACM has an
   article by Pierre L'Ecuyer called, "Efficient and Portable Combined
   Random Number Generators".  Here is the Portable Combined Generator of
   L'Ecuyer for 32-bit computers.  It has a period of roughly 2.30584e18.
