Log:
Improve generation of the seed to rand, by using
apr_generate_random_bytes, rather than the current time as a seed.
Wouldn't it make more sense to drop all that seed and rand hassle and just
use the apr-random bytes directly as salt (alphabet[byte % len(alphabet)])
I guess so....
apr-random though has this nasty habit of using really random sources,
and using all entropy on a system, and I'd prefer to not use it more
than needed..... As this has been the source of pain and several bug
reports in the past....
