A version of this used to be in the Apophenia library, but it got cut.

/** Convert a crosstab to a PMF model, which you can use to make random draws, as a prior
    for Bayesian updating (via \ref apop_update), and so on.

\param  d  An input crosstab, expressed either in the matrix of an apop_data set.
\return    A PMF model which has a single line for each nonzero line of the crosstab. 
           The model points to a data set generated here, which you will need to 
           apop_data_free whenever you apop_model_free this model.
