Subject: [ANN] new random_data gem for better development data

I've released a small gem that provides a Random singleton class with a
series of methods for generating random test data including names,
mailing addresses, dates, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and text.
This lets you quickly mock up realistic looking data for informal
testing.

Instead of:

>> foo.name = "John Doe"

You get:

>> foo.name = "#{Random.firstname} #{Random.initial} #{Random.lastname}"
>> foo.name
=> "Miriam R. Xichuan"

The gem also includes code for phone numbers, e-mail addresses, physical
addresses, and (primitive) text generation.
