 * As of late 2014, here's how we plan to provide cryptographic-quality
 * random numbers:
 *
 * - If we are building with OpenSSL, use RAND_poll() and RAND_bytes().
 * - Otherwise, use arc4random().
 *
 * Use of arc4random() can be forced using configure --disable-openssl-random
 *
 * We can count on arc4random existing, thru the OS or thru libevent.
 * The quality of arc4random depends on the implementor.
 *
 * RAND_poll() doesn't show up until XXX.  If it's not present, we
 * need to either provide our own or use arc4random().
