rng-tools 1.0 released

Version 1.0 of the rng-tools package has been released to

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel

This is the userspace support package for i810_rng / amd768_rng (2.4) and hw_random (2.5) device drivers.

The general idea is that you have a userspace daemon obtaining random data from one or more sources, run it through a bunch of "make sure it's really random" sanity checks, and then add that entropy to the kernel's /dev/random entropy pool.

Future directions include Via RNG support completely in userspace, and support for entropy sources other than a single /dev file.

Contributions and critical review of this package welcome.

P.S. Future release announcements will occur only via SourceForge's automated release notification system. This is a fairly minor package, and I don't want to spam lkml.
