Move random number stuff across to the tasks file, with a view to
getting it done or mostly done.

<p> If the routine becomes fast enough, perhaps square roots could be computed
using this function.
-<p> <li> <strong>Random number generators</strong>

- <p> The implementation of the linear congruential generator is not
- particularly fast. Perhaps a second seed areas within
- <code>gmp_randstate_t</code> would save some copying, and perhaps a
- special case for single (or single and double) limb moduli could avoid
- lots of function calls.
-
- <p> More generator algorithms would be good. An additive style (delayed
- Fibonacci or whatever it's called) ought to be fast. Blum-Blum-Shub
- has been started, it needs a way to get large random primes.
-
- <p> Some random functions giving various distributions (normal, geometric,
- etc) might be good.
-
- <p> More empirical tests of the generated numbers.

<p> <li> <strong>Test Suite</strong>
<p> Add a test suite for old bugs. These tests wouldn't loop or use
