Peter Gutmann has entropy gathering code in his Cryptlib. I am not
sure whether he has allowed us to use it under the GPL - I have to
check. According to the code, there might be a /dev/random. You may
also want to ask the Be to include the /dev/random driver; it has a
BSD style license, so it should be not a great problem.

Send them to me <wk at gnupg.org> and let me see whether I can include
them without legal papers.
