David Lawrence 40f53fa8d9 Trailing whitespace trimmed. Perhaps running "perl util/spacewhack.pl in your
own CVS tree will help minimize CVS conflicts.  Maybe not.
Blame Graff for getting me to trim all trailing whitespace.

/*
* Entropy
*
* The entropy API
*
* MP:
* The entropy object is locked internally. All callbacks into
* application-provided functions (for setup, gathering, and
* shutdown of sources) are guaranteed to be called with the
* entropy API lock held. This means these functions are
* not permitted to call back into the entropy API.
*
* Reliability:
* No anticipated impact.
*
* Resources:
* A buffer, used as an entropy pool.
*
* Security:
* While this code is believed to implement good entropy gathering
* and distribution, it has not been reviewed by a cryptographic
* expert.
*
* Since the added entropy is only as good as the sources used,
* this module could hand out bad data and never know it.
*
* Standards:
* None.

* at hand, return what is available. This flag only makes sense
* when used with _GOODONLY.
*
* _BLOCKING
* Block the task until data is available. This is contrary to the
* ISC task system, where tasks should never block. However, if
* this is a special purpose application where blocking a task is
* acceptable (say, an offline zone signer) this flag may be set.
