Yea, I know; normally I would, but I want to do some side-by-side tests of the 
new and old RandomSample class, and it seems like a PITA to have to go through 
checkout-compile-copy to /usr/local/lib/-etc.etc. to do comparisons.

Yes, there are unittests and (once I compile rdmd successfully:-) I can probably 
use these, but in the short term it seems simpler to just make a new file 
containing the bits I need and tweak it there.
