Feeds /dev/random with Entropy Data read from Timers

Edit Package timer-entropyd
http://www.vanheusden.com/te/

This program feeds the /dev/random device with entropy-data (random values)
read from timers.
It does this by measuring how much longer or shorter a sleep takes (this
fluctuates a little - microseconds). The time for a sleep jitters due to that
the frequency of the clocks of the timers change when they become colder or
hotter (and a few other parameters).
This program does not require any extra hardware.
It produces around 500 bits per second.
