  Description     : Perl module providing strong randomness for seeding

Crypt::Random::Seed implements simple mechanism to get strong
randomness. The main purpose of this module is to provide a simple way
to generate a seed for a PRNG such as Math::Random::ISAAC, for use in
cryptographic key generation, or as the seed for an upstream module
such as Bytes::Random::Secure. Flags for requiring non-blocking sources
are allowed, as well as a very simple method for plugging in a source.

This package is needed to package Bytes::Random::Secure, used by
(Alt::)Crypt::RSA for the final Crypt::OpenPGP package.
