Attached is a first draft of a patch.

It works but I don't like the globals for 53 bits per random
float because the WichmannHill generator supplies fewer bits
than that.  I don't see a general way to find out how many
bits per random call are offered by an underlying generator.
 A more conservative, but slower approach is to assume on 32
bits and, if there are more, just throw them away.  Ideas
are welcome.
