[R] random uniform sample of points on an ellipsoid (e.g. WGS84)

[Russell Senior]

I am interested in making a random sample from a uniform distribution
of points over the surface of the earth, using the WGS84 ellipsoid as
a model for the earth.  I know how to do this for a sphere, but would
like to do better.  I can supply random numbers, want latitude
longitude pairs out.

Can anyone point me at a solution?  Thanks very much.
