I may print a warning on LameRandomness construction which is the default constructor in the case UnixRandomness is not available. The default implementation uses java.util.Random which is obviously of less quality than urandom. However this may confuse some application which would not expect this message. So I suggest to have a "quiet" property to be able to shut it down just in case.
