/*
 * F distribution
 *
 * This code has been adapted from RANDLIB.C 1.3, by
 * Barry W. Brown, James Lovato, Kathy Russell, and John Venier.
 * Code was originally by Ahrens and Dieter (see above).
 *
 * Adapter's notes:
 * BZ_NEEDS_WORK: how to handle seeding for the two gamma RNGs if
 * independentState is used?
 * BZ_NEEDS_WORK: code for handling possible overflow when xden
 * is tiny seems a bit flaky.
