+/* An improved random number generation package. In addition to the standard
+ rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info
+ interface. The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of
+ bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is
+ then initialized to contain information for random number generation with
+ that much state information. Good sizes for the amount of state
+ information are 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes. The state can be switched by
+ calling the setstate() function with the same array as was initiallized
+ with initstate(). By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state
+ information and generates far better random numbers than a linear
+ congruential generator. If the amount of state information is less than
+ 32 bytes, a simple linear congruential R.N.G. is used. Internally, the
+ state information is treated as an array of longs; the zeroeth element of
+ the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small integer); the remainder
+ of the array is the state information for the R.N.G. Thus, 32 bytes of
+ state information will give 7 longs worth of state information, which will
+ allow a degree seven polynomial. (Note: The zeroeth word of state
+ information also has some other information stored in it; see setstate
+ for details). The random number generation technique is a linear feedback
+ shift register approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms
+ to sum up that way). In this approach, the least significant bit of all
+ the numbers in the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register,
+ and will have period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial
+ being used, assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive).
+ The higher order bits will have longer periods, since their values are
+ also influenced by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits. The
+ total period of the generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus
+ doubling the amount of state information has a vast influence on the
+ period of the generator. Note: The deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation
+ only good for large deg, when the period of the shift register is the
+ dominant factor. With deg equal to seven, the period is actually much
+ longer than the 7*(2**7 - 1) predicted by this formula. */
+
+
+
+/* For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a
+ break value on the amount of state information (you need at least thi
+ bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree for
+ the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and
+ separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial. */
