-Dieharder is a random number generator (RNG) testing suite, designed to make
-it easy to time and test RNGs implemented in both software and hardware. It
-makes extensive use of the GNU Scientific Library (GSL), and includes a
-battery of pseudorandom number generators (PRNG) and testing algorithms for
-research and cryptographic applications.

-The software saw its last release in 2011, and differences with newer versions
-of autoconf are starting to become apparent. Patches are applied mostly to
-overcome these differences, as well as one trivial fix to appease C99. The
-build installs the dieharder software as well as the libdieharder libraries
-that can be called from your program code.
