Guess what?  Forgot to change the `To:' line again.

Crypt::Random simply uses /dev/random.  However, Math-TrulyRandom is based
on a short C program which has a nice, simple copyright, so we could simply
include it.  It may need some work porting to other UNIX variants.

There's no encryption involved, so I don't think the warning about export
controls is applicable.  On the other hand, we don't have a built-in MD5 or
DES to run on it.  The nearest we have is the hashing function.
