 * \brief Implements a random state pool which will let the caller return a
 * series of possibly non-reproducible random values.
 *
 * Note that the
 * strength of these numbers is not all that high, and should not be
 * used in cryptography functions.  It is useful for jittering values
 * a bit here and there, such as timeouts, etc.
