useful for more secure applications then it seems that a default OpenSSL
install could settle for CryptoAPI's PRNG.

Subject: How good a random source is Crypto
The non-thread-safe
nature of RAND_poll for Win32 is something I need to address as it's impossible
given the use of my library to expect RAND_poll to be called before other
threads exist. This leads me to the question of how good a random source
is the CryptGenRandom function on Windows.
