USE:
whrandom.random()       yields double precision random numbers
                        uniformly distributed between 0 and 1.

whrandom.seed(x, y, z)  must be called before whrandom.random()
                        to seed the generator

There is also an interface to create multiple independent
random generators, and to choose from other ranges.



Multi-threading note: the random number generator used here is not
thread-safe; it is possible that nearly simultaneous calls in
different theads return the same random value.  To avoid this, you
have to use a lock around all calls.  (I didn't want to slow this
down in the serial case by using a lock here.)
