Only in the unlikely case that both RNGD and SCDrand turn out unsuitable
somehow. Writing and compiling a daemon is no less work than compiling
an already written daemon.

RNGD 6 actually uses OpenSC's libp11, where it calls the function
PKCS11_generate_random, which in turn calls the PKCS #11 function
C_GenerateRandom.
