st: Producing random numbers from a kernel density

[Peter Willem� <pw@plan.be>]

Dear all,
I am trying to draw random numbers from an arbitrary distribution. One 
idea that occurred  to me was to use a kernel density estimator 
(-kdensity-), but I have no idea how to produce random numbers from the 
result. All suggestions are welcome.
Best,
Peter
