* To benefit from the precompiled-header (PCH) it MUST provide "the first C token."
Advantages:
Never worry about the include stack again. Remember, this means one less thing
for random module developers, community people learning C++, and new developers
to deal with. It should reduce the learning curve and barrier for participation.
Disadvantages:
Makes overall compilation a bit slower, especially without any additional
work to improve it again. There are several opportunities, places where the
PCH is probably being ignored, etc that can be addressed.
Using /dev/random for salt generation is pointless -- it can block, and
any extra randomness it would provide (which is debatable) is not needed,
as salts only need to be unique, not unpredictable.
