I want add rng selection to 1.3.x, no eta yet, there is issue for that
on project page. And several discussions already:-)
I was quite disapponted how gcrypt RNG works so code will stick
with using /dev/random for long-term key, urandom for other things (wipe, salt).
There will be option to use RNG for key generation - for now it should
support random/urandom/gcrypt(very strong) RNG (with /dev/random as default).
