[fluxus] randomness

hi all,

took me a while to find (they are not part of R5RS) but there are some
standard functions in guile that look really handy for fluxus:

seed->random-state
random:normal
random:normal-vector!
random:hollow-sphere!
random:solid-sphere!

the last two are really useful for initialising particle velocities etc.
and (random:normal) does the same as (flxrnd) but allows you to provide a
random state for seeding the random generator

cheers,

dave
