The first case you mention, Globals.env.uniformIntRand, is a
pre-instantiated instance of UniformIntegerDist -- in all cases,
when you use getIntegerWithMin$withMax it's always a instance
method, not a class/static method.  Sometimes it is better
to instantiate your own so that you can control the details of
the generator seed, etc.

"Globals" is a class that houses variable that need to be visible
from anywhere in a simulation.  Right now, all the variables are 
housed in an embedded environment object (a real instance).  This
is so in the future we can introduce multiple virtual machines, and
have them save-able.
