See discussion on v1 of this patch -- the rng backend is probably the right idea but its API is a huge pain in the neck. I suggested Marcin do a v2 which still uses rand() so we can get everything else reviewed, and then deal with the rng stuff separately. (Notably I think that for the rng backend you have to on the command line create and wire up a backend, which is a lot of pain. There doesn't seem to be any kind of "use a sane default" available :-( ) thanks -- PMM
