Random numbers

Dear all,
Is there a facility within ROOT to obtain random numbers via a user
defined function ?
A scenario of filling first a histo according to some function and then
obtain random numbers according to that hist would do fine for the moment.
However, some facility to provide a function pointer of a user defined function
and then be able to retrieve random numbers from that would of course be
nicer. Maybe something like the fitting of user functions to a histo could
be provided for class TRandom ?

                                                       Cheers,
                                                        Nick.
