It's often useful to introduce some sort of random variation when

I've pulled in the ISAAC library from CCAN:

I shaved off the float related stuff which is less useful for unit
testing and re-indented to fit the style. The original license was
CC0 (Public Domain) which is compatible with the LGPL v2 of
kvm-unit-tests.
