## usage:  cauchy_rnd (lambda, sigma [, r, c])
##
## cauchy_rnd (lambda, sigma) returns a matrix of random samples from
## the Cauchy distribution with parameters lambda and sigma.  The size
## of the matrix is the common size of the parameters.
##
## cauchy_rnd (lambda, sigma, r, c) returns an r by c matrix of random
## samples from the Cauchy distribution with parameters lambda and sigma
## which must both be scalar or of size r by c.
