random functions and fixed problems with specular reflection + roughness in cvs?

Hi list!

Some time ago, Ignacio Munárriz found a problem in the code when he observed strange results rendering specular surfaces with high roughness values:

did not work in my computer (return always 0), so i changed them for:
