----------------------------------------------------------------------
New features since 1.1:
* New extensible architecture separating pseudo-random bit
generation from interpretation (as BOOL, double, etc.).
* Additional engines: R250Engine, StandardEngine.
* More efficient use of bits (see randMin:Max: in Random).
* Better percent method (potentially non-portable, though. See
Random).
* More testing programs.
* Two new graphical demos: RandPlot and RandHist.
New features since 1.0:
* Gaussian variables;
* Arbitrary distribution (via randFunc: method);
* Nicer distribution policy;
* Two neat histogram testing programs, one for flat distributions
(from percent method), and one for Gaussian distributions (from
gaussian method).
