- Description:
- Computational stochastic approaches (Monte Carlo methods) based on the random
sampling are becoming extremely important research tools not only in their
"traditional" fields such as physics, chemistry or applied mathematics but also
in social sciences and, recently, in various branches of industry. An indication
of importance is, for example, the fact that Monte Carlo calculations consume
about one half of the supercomputer cycles. One of the indispensable and
important ingredients for reliable and statistically sound calculations is the
source of pseudo random numbers. The goal of this project is to develop,
implement and test a scalable package for parallel pseudo random number
generation which will be easy to use on a variety of architectures, especially
in large-scale parallel Monte Carlo applications.

math/sprng: make fetchable again with a silent update
The tarball for SPRNG 5.0 has been rerolled.
This includes several minor points:
- format change (dos to unix);
- code reformat and linting;
- code cleaning;
but also some other modifications.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
