Ok. Given that and the overflow problem, can we settle on

	(rand()>>8)+(rand()&0xff00)

for the bundled programs and

	(rand()>>8)

for the three invocations in colblend.c which look like

	return ((rand() & 255) < (int)n) ? x : y;


Angelo, is that good enough for you?

As a wrapper around rand()?
