There is a highly portable C version of the Mersenne twister, in source, in my hashlib.zip. I use it to ensure that test data is reproducible across systems. It is under the name "cokusmt".
Since these things depend on nothing outside, except for the (user optional) seeding, they can always be made available in source form. Having them built in is just a convenience.
I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here. GPC's implementation of the Mersenne twister is also both portable and available in source (Pascal).
