Description
NEST uses the binomial random deviate generator provided by GSL if built with GSL. This works fine. If built without GSL, NEST uses an algorithm included in librandom, which precomputes a table using an algorithm that is Theta(N^2) in the number of outcomes, leading to prohibitive runtimes for, e.g., fixed-total-number connectivity for large numbers of connections. We should remove this generator and simply require GSL.
