I've had a look at what Gnumeric offers, and they've done a big job on
random number generation. Comparing with what is available in boost
I've separated the list into rand functions which could be quickly
implemented using boost and those which can't (and would require more
intelligence to implement). Another problem might be that boost 1.44
which is currently used in libreoffice has even fewer distribution
functions implemented.
If there's interest, I'd be happy to work on a patch to implement the
first half of the functions into
core/sal/rtl/source/math.cxx
or maybe random.cxx? However, random.* seems not that well
maintained as there's no random.hxx.
