Re: More shootout, two randoms

[Joshua Isom]

I made the changes, adding the argv error handling(none of the docs state any necessity to handle no args so I'm not sure if it's necessary from their benchmarking point of view), and using ints when possible. If you were getting odd results, a difference between the c version and mine is the c version is a while loop and mine's a do while loop, off by one. Right now I'm getting around 1.8 seconds.

Hmm. I think we just submit 2 versions: random.pasm and the the split one with randomd_lib.pir. The global is ugly, yes. We could use a closure, but that would restrict the usage to a fixed :outer, which isn't really good. Well, we dont't have a C-like static construct. But before doing that I'd appreciate, if you cleanup the rand algorithm a bit: IM, IA, IC, and last are integers only. The part of the calculation doesn't involve floats.
