Log:
 Use /dev/urandom (which is non-blocking) instead of /dev/random (which
 can block forever) for our seed. This fixes a problem with our new Linux
 build slave, which is running Linux 2.6 as a VM guest, and which was
 timing out waiting for entropy.
 
 Add a comment about using CryptGenRandom on Windows.
