We now always build with Kerberos, so why not make it the responsibility
of the kerberos library? (We will need that part to work anyway).
Heimdal has krb5_generate_random_block which does not require any
library set up, and MIT has krb5_c_random_make_octets but which needs a
krb5 context.
Or we could make the test be Heimdal or /dev/urandom for simplicity.
The Heimdal sources seem to indicate alternate possible devices
of /dev/srandom and /dev/arandom for what it's worth.
Thoughts?
