分级链表（Skiplists）数据结构的实现

/*
                                 SKIPLIST.H
DESCRIPTION:
  Interface for skip list
  See William Pugh's paper: 
    Skip Lists: A Probabilistic Alternative to Balanced Trees
  This is a good generic implementation of the SkipList method.
  A SkipList is a container class which associates key/value pairs.
  Construct an empty SkipList and add arbitrary key/value pairs using
  the insert method and then search for inserted values by key.
  Iterators can also be constructed from a SkipList instance which
  can be used to walk all the entries of that instance.

HISTORY:
  Original C version by Bruno Grossniklaus, 11/13/97
  C++ version with Iterator by Daniel Green - [e-mail] 4/3/99
