No need for that! It's really not too hard. Try this:

---%<---

/* We need a random seed if we want to use rand() */
#declare Seed = seed(54890);

#declare Stone = /* Your stone object here */

#macro Rotated_Stone()
	/* Create a vector with random components (within 0 and 1) */
	#local Random_Vector = <rand(Seed),rand(Seed),rand(Seed)>;

	/*
	Until now, the random vector has components from 0..1,
	we need them to go from -1 to 1. We subtract 0.5 (then
	it goes from -0.5 to 0.5 and double it, and multiply it
	by the maximum amount of rotation we want, here 10
	degrees.
	*/
	#local Random_Degrees = (Random_Vector - 0.5)*2*10;

	object {
		Stone
		rotate Random_Degrees
	}
#end

/*
Now everywhere you've used object { Stone } before just use
object { Rotated_Stone() }
*/

Should work, although I haven't tested it :)
