+/* 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.  */
