plgen - generate samples from a power-law distribution

       Generates  a  given  number of samples from a power-law distribution with an optional exponential cutoff.
       The pdf being sampled is given as follows:

       P(k) = C * k^(-gamma) * exp(-k/kappa)

       where C is an appropriate normalization constant. gamma is given by the  second  command  line  argument,
       kappa is given by the -k switch.
