Tue May 09 2004  Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@debian.org>

* rngd.h, rngd.c, rngd_linux.c, rngd.8.in: Let the user
	  set the fill watermark explicitly, using the new -W
	  command line option.  This gets rid of RNDGETPOOL
	  usage, and of a hardcoded (yuck) setting of 50%.
	  This change will make rngd work right with 2.6 kernels.

Thu Apr 15 2004  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

* Makefile.am, configure.ac: put common code in a lib

Tue Apr  6 2004  Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@debian.org>

* rngd.c, rngtest.c: Add Copyright and license notices
	  to --version output, as per the GNU guidelines;
	  Improve --help output a little.
	* rngtest.c: Cleanup logging, and exit with status 1
	  when input drains before the first block is tested.
	* rngtest.1.in: Minor text change.

Preparatory cleanup for merging the multithreaded 
	code later:
	* rngd.c: split globals to rngd.h; split linux
	  /dev/random functionality to rngd_linux.c;
	  split entropy source (/dev/hwrandom) functionality
	  to rngd_entsource.c.
	* rngd.h, rngd_linux.h, rngd_linux.c,
	  rngd_entsource.h, rngd_entsource.c: add

Noticed by Olivier NICOLAS.

Sat Jul  5 2003  Sami Farin  <safari@users.sourceforge.net>

"updated" to FIPS140-2 standard, it has a bit more
	strict constraints on randomness.. about one out of
	1000 blocks read from /dev/urandom causes a failure.

also a bugfix:
	checks for EINTR in xread (maybe not necessary with
	i810 driver?)
