I'd like to make it the only option at some point in the future once
there's sufficient confidence in the code.  I'm not sure I want to
have two PRNGs ship with libevent, one of which is known to have a
poor cipher (RC4), and one if which has a not-too-trusted
implementation.  Let's get one good one that we can have confidence
in, and just ship that.
