Just another idea - an iterative approach in a script, which is using
v.random and to discard all points outside the polygon and to repeat it
until you have the number of random points you need. This could be made
faster, by using a MASK based on the polygon which has been grown to
encapsulate the whole polygon, and to use on this setup r.random, also
iterative.
