intel-rng-tools needs updating:

- intel-rng-tools have been renamed to rng-tools
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel). 

- rng-tools is now available in version 1.0, which includes support
for AMD and VIA processors, as well as newer Intel 8xx chipsets.
(Most of this was probably available in v 0.9.1, but at least it needs
to be documented.)

- The package has exactly one outstanding bug.  It's easily fixed by
updating the device name for the hardware RNG.

- The documentation is two years out of date and contains many
inaccuracies, e.g. in device names, kernel module names, and hardware
requirements.

- The existing package doesn't include the diagnostic tools randstat
and rngtest.

I have no particular familiarity with rngd, but I'm interested to
learn and would like to use it myself.  So I'd like to bring the
package up to date.
