[random] Rician and Weibull distributions

If there's any interest, I've implemented these two distributions (attached). They have only been lightly tested at this point, but might be of interest to some users of Boost.Random. Cheers, Matthias

There's obviously not any wild excitement about these two distributions ;-) But I'm sure someone will want them sometime. It might be nice to have some examples/tests of use? If you are happy after using them, IMO it would be in order to add them to the collection in Boost.Random - unless anyone has any strong objections.

I guess the market for random distributions isn't as big as it could be :)

There are also a bunch of distributions sitting in the sandbox. We could add these to the same place and then migrate all of them into the distro after a review. Andrew Sutton asutton@cs.kent.edu

I'm sure some poor radar engineer somewhere will be very grateful to have the clutter. [ A gag that'll have the radar crowd rolling in the aisles.]
