 We have random number generators from the uniform distribution in MLpack
 which use the boost library. Apparently, there are normal (Gaussian)
 random number generators in boost as well. Is there any way to add them to
 MLPack.

 Example of boost::normal_distribution:

 This is the boost documentation on normal_distribution.
