Hey, this is an excellent idea. Be careful about naming
it though: it's not really a rng any more, it's a parameter
object that just happens to have a random implementation.

Also, when you change one parameter, note that the *set* of
parameters requested may change; the UI should take that into 
account.

Try to spend as little time as possible on this and get Vesa
to work on this; we need to get more paper passes working right.
