Here's a simple function for permuting the integers 1 to N (given same name
as corresponding function in matlab.)

function y = randperm(n)
  ## Return a random permutation of the integers 1 to N.
  ##
  ## Example:
  ## randperm(5)'
  ## ans = 1 4 5 3 2
  [ordered_nums, y] = sort(rand(n,1));
endfunction
