There is currently no random number generator in base ... while the  
trend has been to add things over the years, for MacOS-X compatibility  
as they added things etc, there have also been a few little-used  
features removed.  I guess there are still some old references  
around.  I removed the one you found on the gnustep wiki.  Do you know  
of any others actually on the gnustep website?
