 The two random related functions have no meaning for Pascal whatsoever, as it offers its own random functions.

		+	After some work done on the actual implementation of unit amigalib, some practical issues presented itself.
		+
		+	In order to not fall into the same pitfall of systemvartags unit, some (if not most) functions that originally are located inside amigalib actually need to be located inside their respective units.
		+
		+	But, when applying that rule a full 100%, unit amigalib ends up with the following 3 functions:
		+	- function ACrypt(buffer: PChar; password: PChar; username: PChar): PChar;
		+	- function FastRand(seed: ULONG): ULONG;
		+	- function RangeRand(maxValue: ULONG): ULONG;
		+
		+	The two random related functions have no meaning for Pascal whatsoever, as it offers its own random functions.
		+
		+	Which leaves the ACrypt function.
		+
		+	There was talk about wanting to add some helper functions inside unit AmigaLib, such as SetHook(), but that actually belongs to unit utility (when applying the same rule for not falling for the systemvartags pitfall).
		+
		+	Other then what was mentioned in this paragraph, we need to be fair. Amigalib also adds a couple of clib function such as printf(). Do we want a pascal implementation for that (and inside unit amigalib) ?
		+
		+	To make things complete, there are a couple of other function inside the original AmigaLib, such as dbf, but there isn't an actual implementation available in source.
		+
		+
		+	So... "what again was the purpose of unit amigalib", i started wondering.
