In matloff/Rth: Rth: Parallel R through Thrust

#' Parallel Random Uniform Generation
#'
#' Generate from a uniform distribution in parallel.
#'
#' \code{rthrunif()} uses thrust's implementation of the minimal standard
#' random number generation algorithm.  The way seeds for threads are chosen at
#' the moment does not guarantee independence of the RNG streams.
#'
#' @aliases rthrunif
#' @param n
#' The number of values to generate
#' @param min,max
#' Parameters for uniform random variables.
#' @param seed
#' Seed for the random number generation.
#' @param nthreads
#' An optional argument for specifying the number of threads
#' (in the case of OpenMP or TBB backends) that the routine should (at most)
#' use.  Does nothing with a CUDA backend.  See \link{nthreads}.
