Thanks for that update.  Actually integration of your code was on my
short list.

You added a new API gcry_randomize_drbg along with a new structure and a
lot of new constants which seem to be only there to expose internal
stuff.  Why can't we just use a replacement for the current X9.31
generator?  There should be just an RNG and not a way to configure it.


Shalom-Salam,

   Werner
