[Lunar-bugs] [feature] OpenSSL and OpenSSH /dev/random

Could we add an (optional) option to both openssh and openssl to make
use of /dev/random (hardware based random number generator)?  It would
require the use of this text (DEVRANDOM="/dev/random" DEVRANDOM_EGD=""
(for make install)) for openssl and this text (  --without-rand-helper
(for ./configure)) for openssh.  

Note: the OpenSSH option to use the hardware RNG requires you to have
told openssl to use the hardward RNG option from what I can tell.

Thanx.
