* src/rtl/Makefile
  * src/rtl/hbrandom.c
  + src/rtl/hbrand.c
  + src/rtl/arc4.c
  + src/rtl/arc4.h
    + added C level arc4 API. adapted to Harbour by Tamas Tevesz, 
      original authors listed in sources
    * moved HB_RAND32() function to separate source
    * changed HB_RAND32() to use arc4 backend, which means it will 
      now return properly string random numbers
    ; arc4 code may need tweaks on some platforms (android f.e.), 
      pls test

/*
* Arc4 random number generator for OpenBSD.
*
* This code is derived from section 17.1 of Applied Cryptography,
* second edition, which describes a stream cipher allegedly
* compatible with RSA Labs "RC4" cipher (the actual description of
* which is a trade secret). The same algorithm is used as a stream
* cipher called "arcfour" in Tatu Ylonen's ssh package.
*
* Here the stream cipher has been modified always to include the time
* when initializing the state. That makes it impossible to
* regenerate the same random sequence twice, so this can't be used
* for encryption, but will generate good random numbers.
*
* RC4 is a registered trademark of RSA Laboratories.

/*
* Bit of a guesswork; possibly needs to be extended to other platforms,
* but on UNIX-ish systems, seeding will fall back to using the
* /dev/random-variants.
