Random numbers suitable for cryptography

Hi Paolo,

did you ever think/hit the problem of having a random source suitable for
cryptography? I am writing some SIP code and the RFC requires the call id to
be randomly generated with a source suitable for cryptography.

Is this something that should be in the GNU Smalltalk distribution? My short
work around is to use /dev/random.

I think it's a good one.  I'll bump the priority of libgcrypt bindings
(wanna start? :), right after the new event loop.
